National Council election
ÖVP in the lead in Tyrol, FPÖ trembling in second place
The doors of the last polling stations in Austria closed punctually at 5 pm. The FPÖ triumphed nationwide, followed by the ÖVP. And in the "Holy Land"? The Blacks were able to narrowly maintain first place.
Almost 540,000 Tyroleans were called to vote in the National Council elections on Sunday. From 5 p.m., the state gradually published the results of the municipalities. The "Tiroler Krone" continuously updated the results of the count at provincial level.
ÖVP in first place with 31.19 percent
Despite massive losses of votes, the ÖVP was able to narrowly defend first place in Tyrol. According to the provisional official election results, the People's Party won 31.19 percent of the vote and lost 14.62 percentage points. The big winner in the "Holy Land", as in the rest of Austria, was the FPÖ, which achieved its best result ever in the province with 28.96% (2019: 14.69%). The SPÖ (15.28% overall, up 2.26%) and NEOS (10.45%, up 1.58%) made a small gain.
FPÖ better than in the Haider era
The ÖVP thus achieved its historically worst result in the defeated National Council election: In 2008, the "blacks" suffered a result of 31.11 percent. The opposite was true for the FPÖ. The Freedom Party had achieved its best result in the Haider era in 1999 with 28.01% and thus surpassed it.
Greens only in fifth place
Places five to seven are as follows: In fifth place are the Greens with 8.01% (-6.7%). The Beer Party achieved 2.17%. In seventh place is the KPÖ with 2.0% (+5.57%).
List GAZA in last place
As reported, eleven parties and lists were on the ballot paper. Places eight to eleven were taken by LMP (0.54%), None (0.51%), MFG (0.50%) and the GAZA list (0.39%).
However, voter turnout in Tyrol rose slightly to 72.17%. Five years ago, 71.84% of voters went to the polls.
