The regional elections in Styria are over and have brought the next FPÖ triumph. The blue party outperformed the black and red parties and came in a clear first place with just under 35 percent. As well as looking at the big picture, you can see how your municipality voted here.

Styria has 286 municipalities, divided into 13 districts. This results in a colorful carpet of spots from the Enns Valley to the southeast, which this year, however, shimmers more blue than ever before.

Small municipalities at the forefront of the count
Numerous municipalities were ready long before the official closing time at 4 p.m., such as Großwilfersdorf and Bad Blumau (Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district) or Gabersdorf (Leibnitz district), where voting had already finished in the morning. In Graz, voting was possible until the last minute, which is why the results took longer.

All nine lists were only available in Graz and the surrounding area, everywhere else the six parties already represented in parliament - ÖVP, SPÖ, FPÖ, Grüne, KPÖ and NEOS - were on the ballot paper. The results of all parties that were on the ballot in your municipality can be seen in the chart above.

Black-red majority is gone
Across Styria, the ÖVP-SPÖ coalition has lost its majority and together only holds 24 of the 48 seats in the state parliament. The FPÖ alone has 17, the Greens three and the NEOS and KPÖ two each. The future composition of the state government is still up in the air after Sunday's political landslide.
