State election in Tyrol 1961
The state elections in Tyrol in 1961 took place on October 22, 1961, with only minor changes compared to the state elections in 1957. The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) achieved slight profits and was able to keep the absolute majority of votes and mandates clear. The Socialist Party of Austria (SPÖ) suffered slight losses, but was able to clearly defend its mandate and second place. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) was able to stabilize after the losses in 1957 and posted slight gains. The Communist Party of Austria (KPÖ) was able to win shares again for the first time since 1945, but missed entry into the state parliament just as clearly as the list “Mensch und Tier” (MT), which had only stood for election in the constituency of Innsbruck-Stadt and Mitte.
In 1961, 289,647 people were entitled to vote in the state elections, which meant an increase in those entitled to vote by 20,196 people. The voter turnout had also fallen slightly from 93.40% in 1957 to 92.43%.
