Incumbent Manfred Rädler has to go to the run-off in the Monfort town, but thanks to his clear lead he need have no fear of challenger Andrea Kerbleder (FPÖ).

No fewer than five candidates have put themselves forward for the office of mayor in Feldkirch, two of whom will have to go on the hunt for votes once again, namely the incumbent head of the municipality Manfred Rädler from the ÖVP and the Freedom Party challenger Andrea Kerbleder, who also has a mandate in the provincial parliament.

This is not the first run-off election to be held in the Montfort town. Back in 2020, Wolfgang Matt faced off against Daniel Allgäuer (FPÖ), who, as is well known, has since become a provincial councillor.

Rädler, who took over the office of mayor from party colleague Wolfgang Matt in June 2024, has little to fear as he received 36.8 percent of the vote. Significantly more than Kerbleder, who was also standing for mayor for the first time. She only received 27.5 percent. The Green candidate Clemens Rauch received 20.3 percent, while Fabienne Lackner from the Neos party and the Social Democrat Stefan Spangenberg received 9 and 6.5 percent respectively.

And Rädler and his fellow party members are still clearly ahead in the municipal council, despite heavy losses: the ÖVP achieved 36.7 percent, compared to 47.8 percent in 2020. As expected, the Freedom Party came second with 25.4%. Third place went to the Greens (22.9%). 10.7 percent of voters opted for the Neos, and 7 percent voted for the SPÖ - meaning that more people voted invalid (7.5 percent) than expressed their confidence in the Reds.
