Archived election snapshot

Colours show the largest reported party/list vote total in each reporting unit, not elected seats or government formation. Boundaries follow the source crosswalk; these are not necessarily parliamentary constituencies.

Map coverage, vote definitions & attribution

These local votes are separate from the IPU national seat archive. Shares use the sum of source-listed party votes, not registered voters. First-preference, list and candidate ballots are distinct. Names and counts are preserved from the published compilation.

2,098 of 2,226 reporting units have source-matched displayable boundaries. Non-geographic ballots, unmatched units and excluded overseas geography remain selectable. A missing boundary never becomes a zero vote or fabricated polygon.

Party colours are preserved from source identity records. Ties, independents and unverified identities use neutral grey. Text abbreviations are not official logos. Display simplification does not create legal boundary documents.

SEATS WON AT THIS ELECTION

Parties & coalitions.

5 source-listed groups

Neutral chart colours compare seat counts; they do not represent official party colours.

Party / electoral coalition	Seats won	Share of seats
Freedom Party (FPÖ)	57	31.1%
People's Party (ÖVP)	51	27.9%
Social Democratic Party (SPÖ)	41	22.4%
NEOS (“New Austria”)	18	9.8%
Greens	16	8.7%

Largest party means most seats in this table; it is not a declaration of who formed the government. Coalitions remain grouped as published.

This national seat summary does not include constituency-level results or a riding map. Electoral boundary verification remains pending for this election.

Party leadership.

8 source-reported records

Each leadership record carries its own date and source. Undated records are not verified for the election date. These names do not identify every constituency candidate or establish who governs; member-party leaders are not automatically a coalition’s joint leaders.
