Voting in Vorarlberg is traditionally "short and sweet". In this year's National Council elections, the last polling stations closed at 1 pm. 

Late risers should set their alarm clocks for the polls in Vorarlberg. This applies in particular to the municipality of Warth, where the polls closed at 10 a.m. - elsewhere, polling stations were just opening at this time. The last polling stations in Vorarlberg closed at 1 pm for this year's National Council elections.

The early "closing time" has the advantage that the final result (without polling cards) can already be presented in Vorarlberg at 5 p.m., when the rest of Austria still has to make do with exit polls.
