Austria has elected a new National Council and the political map has been completely recolored. The dominant colors at state, district and municipal level are blue and turquoise. Here you can find all the results in detail.

The polls predicted it: Nothing remains of the ÖVP's huge lead in 2019, with the Freedom Party storming past the People's Party to take first place. The SPÖ slipped to third place for the first time, with the NEOS overtaking the Greens. The minor parties clearly fail to enter the National Council.

Which majorities will work out?
The distribution of seats is also being shaken up. Five years ago, the ÖVP still had three mathematical partners for a two-party coalition with the SPÖ, FPÖ and Greens, but the current result has made this much trickier. During the election campaign, all other parties ruled out working together with the victorious FPÖ under chairman Herbert Kickl, but according to the latest projections, including an election map forecast, the Turquoise and Red parties together only have a wafer-thin majority of 93 seats - just one more than is needed for a partnership.

Blue-Turkish states
At state level, blue is also one of the predominant colors. Upper Austria and the south-east are FPÖ territory, in the west the ÖVP's turquoise flashes from Salzburg to Vorarlberg, in the east Nehammer and Co. were able to hold on to Lower Austria. The SPÖ comrades were only able to win the most votes in the traditionally red stronghold of Vienna.

Majority of provincial capitals red
The color scheme looks similar in the districts, but the provincial capitals are mostly SPÖ strongholds: Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, St. Pölten and Eisenstadt are red splashes on the largely two-color election map.

How your municipality voted
As usual, the first reliable figures came from the municipalities on election night. Carinthia, for example, is almost completely blue, while Lower Austria, Salzburg, Tyrol and Vorarlberg are still shimmering turquoise.

According to observers and also the political protagonists, the election campaign was relatively fair, with the flood disaster in the middle of the hot phase providing for a foamy undertone in the numerous debates and duels. However, the trend of an FPÖ triumph, which had been apparent in the polls for months, had not changed by election day.
