The constituency includes the federal state of Upper Austria . In the 2017 National Council election , 1,103,664 people were eligible to vote in the Upper Austria electoral district, with the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) emerging as the strongest party with 31.5%. Of the 28 basic mandates awarded, ten mandates were for the ÖVP, eight for the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), also 8 for the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), and one mandate each for NEOS and the newly entered Pilz list . Compared to the 2013 National Council election , this meant that the ÖVP and the FPÖ won two mandates each, while the SPÖ and NEOS stagnated.

history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , a total of six constituencies were created for the area of ​​Upper Austria with the election regulations of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly. These were the constituency of Linz and the surrounding area (constituency 13), Innviertel (WK 14), Hausruckviertel (WK 15), Traunviertel (WK 16), Mühlviertel (WK 17) and Böhmerwaldgau (WK 18), which comprised judicial districts in what is now southern Bohemia. After the area in southern Bohemia had finally fallen to the Czechoslovak state , there were only constituencies 12 to 16 in the territory of the federal state of Upper Austria, which corresponded to the original constituencies without the Böhmerwaldgau. 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. Nevertheless, after 1945 there were several minor changes between the constituencies, which, however, did not affect the fundamental division of Upper Austria into five constituencies. 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 Upper Austria, the constituency of Upper Austria (constituency 4). With the entry into force of the National Council electoral code in 1992, the Austrian federal territory was finally divided into 43 regional constituencies and a third investigation was introduced, with the provincial constituency of Upper Austria (constituency 4) for the first investigation into the five regional constituencies of Linz and the surrounding area (4A), Innviertel (4B) , Hausruckviertel (4C), Mühlviertel (4D) and Traunviertel (4E), which also correspond to the state electoral districts of the same name. The Upper Austria regional constituency was subsequently assigned 32 mandates in 1993, although the recalculation of the distribution of mandates between the federal states in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) did not result in any changes for the Upper Austria regional constituency.
