First Projection for the State Election in Burgenland: SPÖ Retains First Place

The FPÖ increases by 13 percentage points and reaches 22.8 percent. The ÖVP loses 8.2 points and ends up at 22.4 percent.

The Greens manage to re-enter the state parliament with 5.6 percent, while the NEOS do not make it with 1.8 percent. Also not represented in the state parliament is the "Liste Hausverstand", which shows 0.7 percent.

NEOS Miss Entry into State Parliament

According to this projection at 16:02 (counting degree: 47.9 percent), the FPÖ and ÖVP currently do not have a majority together. The SPÖ only has 17 seats left, which would make a majority against them possible in the 36-seat state parliament.

The NEOS have once again failed to cross the four percent hurdle, reaching 1.8 percent. The Liste Hausverstand (HAUS) therefore reaches 0.7 percent and also does not make it into the state parliament. According to Foresight, the voter turnout was 78.5 percent of eligible voters (2020: 74.94 percent).

Doskozil Loses Absolute Majority in Burgenland

The state party of Hans Peter Doskozil thus lost 3.3 percentage points compared to the ballot in 2020. At that time, the Reds achieved 49.94 percent of the votes. In 2020, the ÖVP was still clearly in second place with 30.58 percent, the FPÖ was then only at 9.80 percent. The Greens were able to convince 6.72 percent of the voters at the previous ballot, the NEOS 1.71 percent and the (no longer running this year) Liste Burgenland 1.26 percent.
