The regional and local council elections in Vienna in 1927 took place on April 24, 1927, at the same time as the national council election . As in 1923, 120 municipal councils had to be elected (from 1932 onwards there were only 100, like today). The Social Democrats again received almost a two-thirds majority with 65% of all seats (78 out of 120). In the run-up to the elections, the Christian Social Party and the Greater German People's Party had formed a unified list in the hope of jointly defeating the Social Democrats. However, they were only able to gain one mandate that the Jewish National Party was able to win in 1923 .
The new municipal council re-elected Karl Seitz as mayor and the city senate Seitz II , in which only social democratic councilors had offices. The mayor, local council and city senate held office until the next election, which took place in 1932.
