The Vorarlberg regional constituency is a regional constituency in Austria that is formed in the case of elections to the National Council for the award of mandates in the second preliminary investigation . The constituency includes the federal state of Vorarlberg .

In the National Council election in 2019 , 274,500 people in the Vorarlberg electoral district were eligible to vote, with the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) emerging as the strongest party with 36.6%. Of the maximum of eight basic mandates to be awarded, two were assigned to the ÖVP and one each to the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), NEOS and the Greens . A member of the SPÖ, Reinhold Einwallner , a member of the FPÖ, Reinhard Eugen Bösch , a member of the NEOS, Gerald Loacker and a member of the Greens, Nina Tomaselli, entered the National Council via the state list . The two mandates of the ÖVP had already been achieved in the regional constituencies of Vorarlberg North and South and were therefore deducted from the number of basic mandates achieved there in the second investigation at the state level in accordance with the National Council election regulations .

history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , an electoral district, the Vorarlberg constituency (constituency 27), was created for the Vorarlberg area with the 1918 electoral code for the election of the constituent national assembly. After areas such as South Tyrol and South Bohemia were finally ceded by Austria to the successor states of Austria-Hungary, the total number of constituencies was reduced. As a result, the Vorarlberg constituency was given constituency number 19. After the electoral code of 1923 was overruled by the Austrofascist government in 1934, the original allocation of constituencies was largely reintroduced after the Second World War with the constitutional law of October 19, 1945. 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. For the state of Vorarlberg, however, only the constituency number changed (now constituency 8). 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, whereby the Vorarlberg regional constituency (constituency 8) was divided into the two regional constituencies of Vorarlberg North (8A) and Vorarlberg South for the first preliminary investigation . The regional constituency of Vorarlberg subsequently received seven mandates in 1993, whereby the recalculation of the distribution of mandates between the federal states in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) for the regional constituency of Vorarlberg led to an increase in the number of mandates to eight basic mandates.
