The distribution of seats in the state parliament after the election

The state elections in Lower Austria in 1927 took place on April 24th. On the same day, Austria elected a new National Council , and St. Pölten and Wiener Neustadt also elected a municipal council.

The winner of the election was the unified list, which received 38 of the 60 mandates (33 of which were the dominant Christian Socials and 5 the Greater Germans). The Social Democratic Workers' Party received 21 mandates, the Landbund, which emerged from a split in the Greater German People's Party, received one mandate.

Accompanying parties

Ballot paper, prefilled by the Reichspost for the standard list

There were four constituencies that corresponded to the neighborhoods of the country. A total of six parties tried to win 60 seats in the Lower Austrian state parliament .

In all four constituencies there was a unified list of the Christian Social Party (CS), Greater German People's Party (GDVP), medium- sized people 's party and the National Socialist Schulzgruppe . The Social Democratic Workers' Party (SDAP) and the Landbund also competed nationwide.

The Communist Party of German-Austria (KPDÖ) ran in all constituencies except the quarter above Mannhartsberg, but could not win any seats. Furthermore, the Völkisch Social Block (VSB), in which the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP-Hitler movement) was involved, took part in the districts of Viertel above Manhartsberg and Viertel above Wienerwald. In the other two constituencies, the NSDAP Hitler movement started independently.

Result

The unity list clearly won the election with 38 seats. Together with the mandates of the Greater German People's Party, it won two seats. The Social Democratic Labor Party lost one mandate and won 21 seats. The Landbund, which emerged from the split-off of two mandataries from the Greater German People's Party, lost one mandate and was given a seat. The remaining parties who were standing did not get a seat in the Landtag.

At the constituent session of the state parliament on May 20, Karl Buresch was confirmed as governor, Josef Reither and Oskar Helmer became his deputies . As the regional councils were Leopold perch , Rudolf Beirer , Viktor Mitter man and Heinrich Schneidmadl sworn in.
