Election to the state and municipal council in Vienna in 1923
The state and municipal council elections in Vienna in 1923 took place on October 21, 1923, at the same time as the Austrian parliamentary elections in 1923 . Just as the National Council was reduced from 183 to 165 seats for this election, the Vienna City Council was also reduced from 165 to 120 seats. The Social Democrats received almost a two-thirds majority.
The new municipal council elected Karl Seitz as the successor of Jakob Reumann as mayor and the city senate Seitz I , in which only social democratic city councilors had offices. The mayor, local council and city senate held office until the next election, which took place in 1927.
