history
Originally there was only one constituency in the state elections in Burgenland. After the 1977 regional election in Burgenland had been challenged by the Constitutional Court, the Constitutional Court recognized that the designation of “constituencies” in Article 26 of the Federal Constitutional Act , i.e. in the plural, must be interpreted as meaning that there must be at least two constituencies per federal state. As a result, the affected federal states of Carinthia, Salzburg and Burgenland changed their state election regulations. Burgenland carried out the necessary adaptation with the 1978 state election order passed on October 30th, which divided Burgenland into four constituencies. The Neusiedl am See district belonged to constituency I with the Eisenstadt-Umgebung district and the free cities of Eisenstadt and Rust . As early as 1995, with the state election regulations in 1995, another reform of the constituencies took place, in which the number of constituencies was increased from four to seven and the Neusiedl am See district was elevated to a separate constituency, constituency 1 .
Since the founding of the regional constituency, the SPÖ has achieved a relative majority in every regional election in regional constituency 1, and between 2005 and 2010 it also had an absolute majority. In the district of Neusiedl, the SPÖ achieved its best district result in 2005, and in 2010 its second-best district result, with state constituency 1 together with the Mattersburg district ( state constituency 3 ) having been one of the two strongest constituencies of the SPÖ since 1996. The SPÖ reached its peak value in the Neusiedl district in 2005 with 55.1%. In 2015, however, the SPÖ, like the ÖVP, had its worst result in the constituency to date. The ÖVP took second place in the constituency in every state election, with its peak in 1996 being 34.8%. In a national comparison, the result of the ÖVP in constituency 1 is in the national average. The third strongest party in all previous state elections was the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), which achieved its best result to date in the constituency in 2015. The election results of the FPÖ in the last elections in the Neusiedl district were roughly in line with the national average. The Green Burgenland took 4th place in every election, with the result in 2020 with 7.1% being the top value. The Greens were regularly just below their national result in constituency 1. In 2010 the Burgenland List (LBL) also succeeded in moving into the state parliament, but in 2010 and 2015 it was well below its nationwide result at around 2.5%.
