National Council election 2024

These parties made it onto the ballot paper

Nine parties will be on the ballot paper nationwide in the National Council election on September 29: ÖVP, SPÖ, FPÖ, GRÜNE, NEOS, KPÖ, BIER, Liste Petrovic and the "KEINE" list each submitted sufficiently supported nominations in time before the closing date on Friday afternoon at 5 pm. 

Three other parties were only able to collect enough signatures in individual provinces, the Ministry of the Interior announced in a press release.

MFG, "Liste Gaza" and "Die Gelben"
These three parties are the MFG, which has become known as a party critical of the corona measures (in all federal states except Burgenland and Carinthia), the "Liste Gaza" (in all federal states except Carinthia and Salzburg) and "Die Gelben". The latter are only running in Burgenland - with former FPÖ politician Manfred Kölly at the helm.

The "Servus Partei" is not on the Ministry of the Interior's list, as it has announced this afternoon that it will not be running at all, although it has found sufficient support in more than half of the federal states. The "Best Austria" list announced its withdrawal some time ago. The "Democratic Alternative" list also failed to make it, as did the "DUO" list.

Three MPs or 2600 eligible voters
For parties already represented in parliament, the signatures of three members of the National Council are generally sufficient. Parties that cannot rely on this must collect between 100 and 500 signatures from eligible voters, depending on the size of the federal state, and at least 2,600 in total. It is also possible to run in individual federal states only.

The provincial electoral authorities will now examine the election proposals - including declarations of support - even more closely. Those "found to be valid" will be published by August 8 at the latest. The order of publication will then determine the order of the party names on the respective ballot papers.
