history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , a total of 12 electoral districts were created for the area of ​​Lower Austria with the election regulations of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, at which time Vienna and the area around Znojmo were also included in Lower Austria. In addition to the seven constituencies of Vienna and the constituency of Znojmo, today's Lower Austria was divided into the constituencies Quarters above the Vienna Woods , Quarters under the Vienna Woods , Quarters above Manhartsberg and Quarters below Manhartsberg . After Vienna became an independent federal state in 1921 and the area around Znojmo fell to the Czechoslovak state , only constituencies 8 to 11 existed in the area of ​​the federal state of Lower Austria, which remained named after the four Lower Austrian quarters. After the electoral code of 1923 was overruled by the Austro-Fascist government in 1934, the original division of constituencies was largely reintroduced after the Second World War with the constitutional law of October 19, 1945. Smaller territorial shifts occurred, especially in the Vienna area, after Greater Vienna, which was created in 1938, was dissolved again, but part of the Vienna surrounding communities were added to the state of Vienna. In addition, there had been slight area shifts between the Lower Austrian constituencies. The 1958 amendment to the National Council's electoral code also led to slight area shifts between the constituency district under the Vienna Woods and the constituency district under the Manhartsberg , but did not affect the fundamental division of Lower Austria into four quarters. In 1971, with the National Council electoral code of 1971, a far-reaching reform of the constituencies was finally carried out, with which the number of constituencies in Austria was reduced to just nine. As a result, there was only one constituency for the federal state of Lower Austria, the constituency of Lower Austria (constituency 3). When the National Council electoral code came into force in 1992, the Austrian federal territory was finally divided into 43 regional constituencies and a third preliminary investigation was introduced, with the Lower Austrian constituency (constituency 3) being divided into the seven regional constituencies of Weinviertel (3A), Waldviertel (3B), Mostviertel for the first preliminary investigation (3C), Niederösterreich Mitte (3D), Niederösterreich Süd (3E), Wien Umgebung (3F) and Niederösterreich Süd-Ost (3G). The Lower Austria regional constituency was subsequently assigned 35 mandates in 1993, with the recalculation of the distribution of mandates between the federal states in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) moving an additional mandate to Lower Austria. In 2013 a mandate was shifted from Styria to Lower Austria, which means that 37 mandates are now allocated to the Lower Austria regional constituency.

The regional constituencies Wien Umgebung (3F) and Niederösterreich Süd-Ost (3G) were also dissolved before the 2017 National Council election due to the dissolution of the Vienna-Umgebung district on January 1, 2017, and replaced by the regional constituencies Thermenregion (3F) and Niederösterreich Ost (3G) .
