history
Originally there was only one constituency in the state elections in Carinthia. After the 1977 state election in Burgenland had been challenged by the Constitutional Court, the Constitutional Court recognized that the use 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. Carinthia carried out the necessary adaptation with the amendment of the state election regulations in 1974 on May 18, 1979, whereby the state area was divided into four constituencies. The districts of St. Veit an der Glan, Völkermarkt and Wolfsberg were merged to form constituency 2.
In the 1984 state elections, the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) achieved 53.0% in constituency 1. Despite continuous and in some cases severe loss of votes, the SPÖ was able to defend its relative majority in the constituency until 1994. After the SPÖ was able to make a profit again after successive losses in the 2004 state elections, it finally slipped to 28.48% in 2009, its worst value so far. As a result, she was only able to obtain two basic mandates, four fewer than with her best results. The SPÖ only came second from 1999 to 2009, but in 2013 it was able to recapture first place from the Freedom Party with 37.2%.
The Freedom Party , only the third strongest force in 1984 with 15.1%, increased continuously to 41.3% under Jörg Haider until 1999 and took first place this year. The Freedom Party was able to maintain this with 42.6% and 47.0%, respectively, in the 2004 and 2009 elections, with the Freedom Party running under the BZÖ brand in 2009. After the FPK split off from the BZÖ, they lost around 58% of their share of the vote in various corruption scandals in the 2009 state elections and fell back to 19.7%. Nevertheless, the FPK came second in constituency 2.
The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), which in 1984 ranked second with 28.1% and three basic mandates, fell behind the Freedom Party as early as 1989 and achieved two basic mandates between 1989 and 1999 with 20 to 24% of the vote. In the 2004 state elections, the ÖVP's result almost halved to 12.6%. After the historically worst result, the ÖVP was only able to recover slightly in the state elections in 2009 and 2013 with 16.7% and 14.1% respectively and took third place in each case.
Until 2004, the Green Carinthia failed several times with various electoral alliances due to the high basic mandate hurdle that was necessary for entry into the state parliament. It was not until the state elections in 2004 that the Greens were able to win a basic mandate in constituency 1, while in state electoral district 2 they clearly missed the basic mandate with 4.8%. After slight losses in 2009, the result of the Greens fell to around 4.0%, in 2013 the Greens were able to double their result to 8.9%. Nevertheless, the Greens were not able to win a basic mandate. In addition, the Greens fell behind the Stronach (TS) team in the 2013 state election in constituency 2 , which achieved 10.6% or a basic mandate when they ran for the first time. The Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ) also made it into the state parliament in 2013, with the BZÖ achieving the best result of the four constituencies with 7.7 %%. Nevertheless, the BZÖ was unable to obtain a basic mandate.
