In 14 municipalities, the candidates for the mayor's seat have to go to a run-off election. Election cards can be applied for from Monday at your home municipality.

In those municipalities where no mayoral candidate received an absolute majority (over 50 percent) on Sunday, the two strongest candidates will have to go through to the run-off election. This will take place on March 24. Voting cards can already be applied for at your own municipality. This can be done online at www.wahlkartenantrag.at, by e-mail to the respective municipality or in person at the municipal office. The last opportunity to do so is on Thursday, March 21, during office hours.
