Large Redoutensaal in the Hofburg : the meeting place for the National Council between autumn 2017 and 2021 due to the renovation of the parliament building

The 26th National Council election in Austria took place on October 15, 2017. Before that, the XXV. The legislative period, which would normally have ended in autumn 2018, was shortened by a resolution of the National Council .

The party with the strongest vote was the ÖVP under Sebastian Kurz with 31.5% (an increase of 7.5 percentage points). The SPÖ with Federal Chancellor Christian Kern won a few hundredths of a percentage point compared to their worst result in the 2013 election and was in second place with 26.9%. With 26.0%, the FPÖ achieved the second-best result in the party's history and third place. All three traditional parliamentary parties thus gained voting shares, a novelty in the history of the Second Republic. The election, however, turned into a debacle for the Greens , who fell from their historically best result to 3.8% and were eliminated from the National Council, to which they had belonged continuously since 1986. NEOS improved by a few tenths of a percentage point compared to 2013, won an additional mandate and became the fourth strongest force. The list of Peter Pilz of the former federal spokesman for the Greens made it over the four percent hurdle with 4.4% . The Stronach team did not run for election. None of the other parties achieved a result above 1%.

The turnout increased from 74.9% to 80.0%, with over 5 million valid votes the election set a new record of absolute votes. A total of five parties were elected to the National Council.

meeting

According to Art. 26 and 27 B-VG , the election must usually take place on a Sunday or public holiday in the last thirty days before the end of the fifth year after the start of the previous legislative period. This began on October 29, 2013, so that the election date should have been between September 29 and October 28, 2018. However, this date became obsolete due to the early dissolution of the National Council.

An earlier election after the premature dissolution of the National Council is possible. Such a dissolution can either be decided by the Federal President on the proposal of the Federal Government or by the National Council itself with a simple majority. In the event of a dissolution by the Federal President, the new election must take place in such a way that the National Council can meet again at the latest one hundred days after its dissolution. In the event of a self-dissolution, the National Council itself determines by law when the new elections take place. 18 of the 25 previous legislative periods ended with such a self-dissolution of the National Council.

At the end of 2014, due to a conflict within the governing coalition over a tax reform, an early dissolution of the National Council was discussed. Ultimately, however, the governing parties agreed on the tax reform in mid-2015, which meant that the possible dissolution of parliament was no longer an option. In the following year and a half, however, early elections were discussed again and again.

Due to the differences between the governing parties SPÖ and ÖVP as well as the resignation of Vice Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner , the opposition parties in the National Council requested early elections. The SPÖ and ÖVP joined on May 15, 2017. On May 16, 2017, after discussions between the heads of all parties, October 15, 2017 was set after October 8, 2017 was also mentioned as a possible date. The decision to shorten the legislative period was taken at the initiative of the opposition parties, but subject to a deadline, the formal dissolution decision was not made until July 17. The reason for this was that if it had been brought in immediately, the parliamentary committee of inquiry into the Eurofighter affair , whose first meeting took place just a few days before Mitterlehner's announcement of his resignation, would have had to be ended immediately.

In the state of Tyrol , in the same ballot as the National Council election, a referendum was carried out on a possible application by Innsbruck and Tyrol for the 2026 Winter Olympics .

In Krems an der Donau ( Lower Austria ), the regular municipal council elections took place at the same time as the National Council election.

A total of 183 seats

In the 2013 National Council election , the two parties of the ruling grand coalition , the SPÖ and ÖVP , lost votes and achieved their worst result in the history of the Second Republic. However, they remained the strongest and second strongest force and were able to continue their government alliance, initially with Federal Chancellor Werner Faymann in the Federal Government Faymann II , after his resignation in May 2016 with Christian Kern as his successor in the Federal Chancellery and also as SPÖ party chairman in the Federal Government Kern . The FPÖ and the Greens gained seats; the NEOS and the Team Stronach were the first to overcome the four percent hurdle. The BZÖ left the National Council with 3.5% of the vote.

During the electoral period, there were several changes of MPs between the clubs (parliamentary groups) (see list of MPs to the Austrian National Council (XXV legislative period) ). Seven of the eleven members left the Stronach team, which meant that their club status was lost in 2017. At times, the ÖVP gained five, and finally four after leaving again. The NEOS and the SPÖ lost a mandate. The FPÖ lost four members and got two from the Stronach team. Three members left the Green Club. In August 2017 there were 14 “wild”, i.e. club-free members of the National Council, four of which belong to the FPS -FLÖ or are running for it (Rupert Doppler, Barbara Rosenkranz, Martina Schenk and Gerhard Schmid). Four MPs belong to the Peter Pilz list (Daniela Holzinger-Vogtenhuber, Peter Pilz, Bruno Rossmann and Wolfgang Zinggl). Three of the four remaining members of the Stronach team, which no longer ran for election in 2017, made the candidacy of the "whites" possible with their signature.

Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ)

The top candidate of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) was Chancellor Christian Kern . Health Minister Pamela Rendi-Wagner was in second place on the federal list .

The program is divided into nine chapters (work, economy, education, health & old age, women, living together, state & politics, livable Austria and Europe & world). The slogan is: "The program for prosperity, security & good humor".

List Sebastian Kurz - The New People's Party (ÖVP)

The Austrian People's Party appeared as the list of its top candidate Sebastian Kurz , but kept the short name ÖVP. Elisabeth Köstinger , Josef Moser , Gaby Schwarz , Efgani Dönmez , Maria Großbauer , Rudolf Taschner , Tanja Graf , Karl Mahrer and Kira Grünberg took the other places on the federal list . The first part of the election program, presented on September 4, 2017, was entitled “New Justice & Responsibility” and promised tax cuts, an opposition to property and inheritance taxes and a “minimum income light” for people without Austrian citizenship. Kurz had already announced in June 2017 that he was aiming for tax relief of 12 to 14 billion euros per year, financed by savings in "bureaucracy and misdirected social benefits", above all child allowance (actually family allowance ) and minimum income for foreign citizens.

The second part of the program, presented nine days later, covered business, education, research, culture and the environment. Compulsory schooling is to be replaced by “compulsory education”. Children should “be able to read meaningfully and master the basic types of arithmetic”, otherwise compulsory schooling should be extended up to the age of 18. In addition, there should be a compulsory second year of kindergarten for children who do not have sufficient command of German. Social security contributions are to be reduced for low incomes. One advocates the reduction of bureaucracy and deregulation measures.

Kurz presented the third part of the election program on September 27, 2017, on the subjects of “order and security”. Anyone entering Austria illegally should be returned to their country of origin. If the person needs protection, they should be taken to a protection center in a third country. An improved point system for legal immigration is required. With regard to state reform, calls were made for a clear division of competencies at the federal, state and local levels and more tax autonomy for the federal states. Structural reforms in the EU are also called for, implementation of the security package and harsher penalties for violence against women and for agitation.

Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ)

The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) entered the election with its party leader Heinz-Christian Strache , who has been in office since 2005 , followed by Norbert Hofer . The FPÖ's motto in the 2017 election campaign was fairness .

The Greens - The Green Alternative (GREEN)

The top candidate of the Greens (GRÜNE) was Ulrike Lunacek , at that time the head of the Austrian Greens delegation in the European Parliament. Ingrid Felipe became the new party leader after Eva Glawischnig resigned in May 2017 .

The new Austria together with Irmgard Griss, Citizens for Freedom and Responsibility (NEOS)

The liberal party NEOS - The New Austria and Liberal Forum (NEOS), which was elected to the National Council for the first time in 2013 , was headed by party leader Matthias Strolz and the independent former federal presidential candidate Irmgard Griss .

Communist Party of Austria and Platform PLUS - open list (KPÖ)

The Communist Party of Austria joined the electoral alliance with the Young Greens as the Communist Party of Austria and Platform PLUS - open list nationwide. The top candidate was Mirko Messner , the former chairwoman of the Junge Grünen Flora Petrik ran for second place on the list .

Free List Austria & FPS List Dr. Karl Schnell (FLÖ)

The Free Party Salzburg , a spin-off of the FPÖ in Salzburg, competed nationwide as the Free List Austria. In addition to the two members of the National Council of the FPS, the list was supported by Christoph Hagen (Team Stronach). On August 27, 2017, the former candidate for the Federal Presidency, Barbara Rosenkranz , took over the top candidacy , and the party founder Karl Schnell was number two on the list.

List Peter Pilz (PILZ)

Peter Pilz , who resigned from the Green Club , presented his own election party list to Peter Pilz on July 25, 2017 . Pilz chose Transparent as the party color, but admitted that this could be a challenge when it comes to the representation in the media: "Otherwise we are also satisfied with white." At the beginning of August Pilz also announced the founding of the political party Liste Peter Pilz . He sees the founding of a party as a purely formal act, since otherwise his list would not receive any party funding after the election. Beyond the four founding party members, no further members are to be accepted.

List Roland Düringer - My vote GILT (GILT)

Roland Düringer's My Voice Gilt List ( own spelling G! LT ) collected 4,500 declarations of support and thus achieved the nationwide number of 2,600 signatures required for the candidacy. The 70-year-old pensioner and esotericist Günther Lassi was chosen as the top candidate by means of an internal draw . After it was reported after submission of electoral lists in the electoral authorities in the media that he a link to the on its website anti-Semitic pamphlet Protocols of the Elders of Zion had provided the list was valid on August 30 by sending known that Lassi his Has declared "irrevocable" waiver of the candidacy in order not to harm the "democracy project Gilt". Legally, such a withdrawal is only a symbolic act, as the federal list in question can no longer be changed after it has been submitted and Lassi - had the list Gilt made it into parliament - could only have waived his mandate after the election.

After Lassi's retirement, Josef Schelling, who was retired, was second in the list as the new top candidate. In fact, the candidates did not appear publicly afterwards and were screened by Gilt's press spokesman Philipp Schmidt: "We are going to the fact that there are no interviews with the candidates, we also do not engage in any discussion of who is the top candidate." Press appointments were made by Roland Düringer.

THE WHITE - The right comes from the people. We all decide in Austria. The popular movement. (WHITE)

The whites saw themselves in the further development of the association ACHT - founded with similar goals in 1994 - Association for the Strengthening of the Basic Constitutional Laws, whose board in personal union with the board of the electoral party, Thomas Rathammer as chairman (federal list place 2) and Karl-Heinz Plankel as Vice Chairman (3rd place in the federal list). Isabella Heydarfadai acted as spokeswoman for the board of directors of the Whites, who ran for election as the top candidate (first place on the federal list).

The whites were supported by three members of the National Council from the Stronach team , which was no longer running in 2017 , which allowed them to run for the National Council election in all constituencies without collecting declarations of support: In addition to Ulla Weigerstorfer and Waltraud Dietrich , this was Leopold Steinbichler , who was the only one of the three to run for the whites (5th place in the federal list).

Other lists

The following electoral parties only ran for candidates in individual federal states:

The Stronach team, which was drafted into the National Council in 2013 with a result of 5.7% , did not run for election. Since it was still represented in the National Council at the time of the election, column 5 on the voting slip reserved for it in accordance with Section 49 of the National Council election regulations remained empty. The Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ), which had left parliament in 2013 with 3.5%, also no longer took part.

Elephant lap on pulse 4

On private television there were also ten TV confrontations plus an elephant round on pulse 4 ; another elephant round on ATV , as well as five individual talks with the top candidates on ATV. There are also five issues of Talk in Hangar-7 on Servus TV , each of which has a top candidate invited to discuss with representatives of civil society. The “Bundesländerzeitungen” ( Oberösterreichische Nachrichten , Salzburger Nachrichten , Kleine Zeitung , Tiroler Tageszeitung , Vorarlberger Nachrichten ) and Die Presse organized a “three-way duel” between Kern, Kurz and Strache, which could be heard on the Ö1 radio station and also broadcast on ORF III with a delay has been.

The tabloid news channel Oe24.at invited all of the top candidates to one-on-one meetings ; SPÖ boss Kern canceled on the day of the conversation because the sister newspaper Austria had published an internal analysis of Kern's weaknesses in full text that had been leaked to her. The paper “exceeded personal limits” with its wording, Kern explained. A planned radio duel between Kern and Kurz, in turn, canceled the latter because of an informal meeting of EU foreign ministers in Tallinn because no alternative date could be found.

The phrase “Just one more sentence…” could be heard over and over again in TV confrontations and other interview programs. In the opinion of the Research Center for Austrian German , which named him Unspruch des Jahres (Unspruch des Jahres), he “represents the numerous bad habits of conversations by political actors in that the utterance is not just followed by a sentence, but often a whole lecture, as well as that the interlocutors kept interrupting each other, etc. "

Posters from SPÖ, FPÖ and ÖVP in Rettenegg

Even before the new election decision in May 2017, an early end of the SPÖ-ÖVP coalition was discussed in the media several times during the 25th legislative period. A new working agreement of the SPÖ / ÖVP coalition was announced in January 2017, with Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka (ÖVP) initially refusing to sign the agreement. He justified it by only feeling responsible for his area of ​​competence, for which he was also criticized by representatives of the ÖVP such as Andreas Khol . After the SPÖ began to woo voters in the middle income brackets, the ÖVP and then General Secretary Werner Amon published a brochure entitled “Red-Green Manifesto” at the end of April 2017 , on the title page of which Federal Chancellor Kern (SPÖ) was in a Soviet propaganda poster The graphic, reminiscent of Soz Art , was shown with hammer and sickle and warned of a “left turn in Austria” and a “return to the left-left world of thought of the communist founding fathers Marx and Lenin ”. Initially it was stated that the brochure would be distributed to medium- sized businesses on the Internet via social media such as Facebook . Amon later emphasized that it was an "argumentation aid" for ÖVP functionaries. In the media, this brochure was seen as a further indication of the imminent new elections. With the resignation of Vice Chancellor Reinhold Mitterlehner (ÖVP) on May 10, according to the daily newspaper Die Presse , among others , because he was “frustrated with the cooperation in the government, the cross-shots in the party [...], stagings on the one hand '”By Kern as well as“ provocations on the other, that is Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka ”, and because he“ had no more desire ”to“ play the interim solution for Sebastian Kurz ”, it was seen as certain that the coalition was now over .

On May 14, the ÖVP party executive appointed Foreign and Integration Minister Sebastian Kurz as the designated federal party chairman . He refused to succeed Mitterlehner in the position of Vice Chancellor, this office was taken over by Justice Minister Wolfgang Brandstetter (ÖVP). The new election motion was introduced by the opposition parties in the National Council on May 15 and approved with the votes of the SPÖ and ÖVP. Chancellor Kern then announced a “free play of forces”, although the ÖVP would remain the first point of contact, but it should also enable parliamentary votes with majorities outside the SPÖ-ÖVP coalition. Kurz stated that he did not want to outvote the SPÖ with his party and continue to work, which Kern described as an "implausible offer" in view of the termination of the coalition by the ÖVP. On June 28, the FPÖ, Greens and Neos approved the SPÖ's proposal to increase the university budget. The ÖVP voted against because they only wanted to resolve the increase together with stricter access regulations. Together and with the votes of the Greens, the SPÖ and ÖVP decided to amend the Green Electricity Act . A joint application by the SPÖ, Greens and NEOS for same-sex marriage was prevented by the ÖVP, FPÖ and Team Stronach. The following day, the joint motion of the SPÖ, ÖVP, FPÖ, Greens and Team Stronach to abolish the nursing regress was introduced by Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig (SPÖ) and accepted with a large majority. Kurz had refused a few days earlier. Rupert Doppler (non-party, previously FPÖ) commented that “such a primary campaign could also have something good”.

The SPÖ and the Greens officially started their election campaigns on September 7th. After Kurz had already started a series of “Austria Talks” at the beginning of June, at which he wanted to meet representatives of various professional groups at various locations across the country in order to incorporate the results into his election program, the ÖVP was the last to begin its election campaign Parliamentary party officially on September 23. At the end of September, the SPÖ gave € 6.5 million as an election campaign budget. The ÖVP emphasized that it wanted to comply with the statutory upper limit for election campaign costs (7 million euros). At the end of June, the Neos decided on a budget of € 2.5 million. The PILZ list put its budget at € 200,000 at the beginning of September and underlined its minimalist election campaign with just a single election poster.

At the end of August, Heinz-Christian Strache published an alleged “strategy paper” from 2016 in an interview with oe24.TV, which describes how Kurz should take over the leadership of the ÖVP and then go into an election campaign. The weekly newspaper Falter published a series of relevant documents in mid-September , from strategic considerations on positioning to a “ Ballhausplatz project ” to the basics of an election program . Three close employees of Kurz in the Foreign Ministry are said to have contributed to the creation. The authenticity of the documents was questioned by the ÖVP and Kurz's spokesman pointed out that suggestions were repeatedly brought in from outside, “also in preparation for a chairmanship in a party in which an chairman debate had taken place every few months in the past Has". It was later explained that parts of the papers came from "Team Kurz", while others, as it was called "Project Ballhausplatz", did not.

Philipp Maderthaner is regarded as the "Chancellor maker" and strategist behind the election campaign of Sebastian Kurz and his New People's Party . The Viennese entrepreneur used elements from previous US election campaigns and from his "Movement Campaigning Method" to build a broad movement around the party and the top candidates. Among other things, they were able to raise more than 2,000,000 euros in donations for the election campaign.

Presentation of poster subjects (2017)

The official election slogan of the SPÖ “Get what you deserve” met with criticism, especially in the conservative media , due to its class struggle aggressiveness. From the beginning, the SPÖ was clearly behind the ÖVP in the polls and roughly on a par with the FPÖ. The SPÖ election campaign was also characterized by numerous disruptions and mishaps. Due to disagreements in Kern's election campaign team, there were even fights. A short time later, the previous campaign manager Stefan Sengl resigned. On August 14, the campaign specialist Tal Silberstein , who had already been hired by Christian Kern in autumn 2016, was arrested in Israel . The SPÖ immediately terminated the cooperation. Christian Kern explained that Silberstein only played a minor role in the election campaign and that it mainly analyzed statistics. The ÖVP had already sent inquiries to the SPÖ in March 2017 about the hiring of Silberstein, as Silberstein was considered a specialist in so-called dirty campaigning . After separating from Silberstein, von Kern emphasized that the consultant was not involved in developing the slogan. Publications in early October, however, show that Silberstein was involved. On September 25, Kern declared a boycott of advertisements and interviews on the part of the SPÖ in relation to the tabloid Austria , as it had published papers that characterized him disparagingly, accompanied by photo montages. According to Austria , the dismissed SPÖ adviser Tal Silberstein is said to have received this "psychogram" from a former SP employee. How the newspaper came about is not known, as is the case with the SPÖ-internal documents picked up later in the election campaign by the magazine profil and the daily newspaper Die Presse . Kern accused the newspaper of campaigning against himself.

Silberstein affair

According to initial reports in mid-July, the election campaign was completely overshadowed from the end of September by the controversy about anonymously managed Facebook groups, which were seen as part of a "dirt bucket campaign" . It became known that two Facebook pages called The Truth About Sebastian Kurz and We for Sebastian Kurz were operated by SPÖ advisor Tal Silberstein and a team he had hired. The truth about Sebastian Kurz contained numerous, sometimes racist and anti-Semitic abuse against the ÖVP candidate. This should give the impression that it would be operated by people from circles close to the FPÖ in order to discredit this party as well. We for Sebastian Kurz again pretended to be the fan page of the ÖVP candidate and aimed to deter moderate sympathizers by exaggerating the political goals of the VP candidate. For the failure of control, SPÖ election campaign leader Georg Niedermühlbichler took responsibility and resigned, but referred to not having known about Silberstein's activities. Christian Kern also asserted that Silberstein had operated the Facebook pages without his knowledge and stated that his trust had been abused. However, both Facebook pages went offline on the same day.

On October 2, the news magazine Profil reported that the SPÖ had commissioned negative video spots about Sebastian Kurz from the advertising agency GGK MullenLowe in Vienna. The SPÖ then stated that the videos were only intended for "internal use". However, one of the videos appeared on the Facebook page The Truth About Sebastian Kurz . On October 3, Die Presse and Profil published simultaneously leaked information that, after Silberstein's arrest, SPÖ campaign manager Paul Pöchhacker had continued the Facebook pages and the team. This time too, Christian Kern stated that he had not known anything about Facebook activities. Pöchhacker was immediately suspended.

To clear up the Silberstein affair, Christian Kern set up an internal task force led by Christoph Matznetter , who also became the new SPÖ managing director. He also had the (unsigned) contract with Silberstein published. From this it emerged, however, that Tal Silberstein had been hired for € 536,000, of which the SPÖ announced to demand back € 131,000. Since then, it has been discussed on the one hand how far responsibility extends into the SPÖ, on the other hand the SPÖ accuses the ÖVP of having undermined its campaign. The ÖVP rejects the latter.

Survey

Development of the survey values ​​2013–2017

In the course of the legislative period, the FPÖ gained approval in opinion polls for the National Council election. At the end of 2014, it was roughly on a par with the governing parties; from mid-2015, surveys continuously saw it as the strongest force. After Christian Kern took office as Federal Chancellor in May 2016, however, the SPÖ began to narrow the gap to the FPÖ again. In the spring of 2017, both parties were roughly on par, while the ÖVP fell behind them. After Sebastian Kurz took over the leadership of the ÖVP, the ÖVP regained approval; most recently it was in first place in the surveys at over 30 percent. Behind were the SPÖ and FPÖ, which, according to the latest polls, competed for second place.

The Greens , who were initially forecast to make slight gains, continuously lost approval in the polls after Eva Glawischnig's resignation in May and increased by Peter Pilz 's resignation in June 2017, and were in the range of seven to four percent before the election. At the beginning of the legislative period, NEOS experienced a survey high in the low double-digit range, most recently surveys saw them roughly at the level of their results from 2013. The Stronach team almost completely lost its approval during the legislative period. Party chairman Frank Stronach announced in 2016 that he was no longer available for candidacy. At the end of June 2017, Team Stronach's parliamentary club announced that it would no longer stand for election in the National Council. List Peter Pilz , founded at the end of July 2017, was predicted to make a short entry into the National Council.

Election campaign costs

In October 2018 it became known that the ÖVP, FPÖ and SPÖ had exceeded the upper limit for election campaign costs between the election date (July 25, 2017) and election day (October 15, 2017) of seven million euros. The ÖVP reported election campaign costs of around 13 million euros to the Court of Auditors, the FPÖ 10.7 million and the SPÖ around 7.4 million euros. NEOS reported around 1.8 million euros to the Court of Auditors, the Pilz list around 300,000 euros, which means that the cost of each vote on the list was 1.5 euros. Beyond the deadline, NEOS communicated total election campaign costs of around 2.65 million euros.

On January 15, 2020, the Independent Party Transparency Senate imposed a fine of 800,000 euros on the ÖVP for exceeding the permitted election campaign costs by 5.96 million. How high the sanctions for the FPÖ (exceeding 3.72 million) and SPÖ (exceeding 0.38 million) will be is not yet known (as of January 15, 2020).

The election result made it possible to form a government only through a coalition of at least two of the three largest parties:

  • ÖVP and SPÖ
  • ÖVP and FPÖ
  • SPÖ and FPÖ

Theoretically, there would also have been the possibility of a minority government (e.g. the ÖVP) with the tolerance or support of one or more parties. However, this form of government has no tradition in Austria and has only been used once ( Bundesregierung Kreisky I , 1970–71) for a transitional period of one and a half years.

Consequences

On the evening of the election, Federal President Alexander Van der Bellen announced his intention to entrust the head of the party with the largest number of votes, Sebastian Kurz , to form a government - as soon as the final official election results were available, which happened on October 20.

The day after the election, the SPÖ's federal executive board decided to seek talks with the ÖVP and the FPÖ.

Two days after the election decided the federal government their resignation , however, the Federal President at the same time, as usual, with responsibility for continuation of official duties, until the formation of a new government.

Also on the Tuesday after election Sunday, after the majority of the voting cards (except for 36,893 issued in foreign constituencies) had been counted, it had become clear that the Greens would most likely not belong to the future National Council, declared the previous federal party chairman Ingrid Felipe and the top candidate Ulrike Lunacek her resignation. Felipe remained the Tyrolean state chairman and also led the Tyrolean Greens into the state elections in 2018 . Lunacek withdrew from the European Parliament and from politics. Felipe's role was taken over on an interim basis by her deputy Werner Kogler . Lunacek's successor in the EU Parliament is the Styrian organic farmer Thomas Waitz . The Green Club in the Austrian parliament was wound up within three weeks, which affected around 90 employees and 21 members. In the end, the Greens lacked 10,160 votes to get back into parliament.

On the same day, October 17, 2017, the long-time member of the National Council and former SPÖ club boss Josef Cap announced his retirement from politics after he had failed with his preferential election campaign in the north-west of Vienna .

The Viennese Vice Mayor Johann Gudenus , who was a candidate on the FPÖ's Viennese state list, and Peter Pilz did not accept their National Council mandates for the time being. In addition, Hans Peter Doskozil (successor Klaudia Friedl ), Veronika Matiasek , Beate Meinl-Reisinger (successor Stephanie Krisper ), Norbert Nemeth (successor Jessi Lintl ) and Hans Jörg Schelling (successor Michaela Steinacker ) waived their mandates. The constituent meeting of the newly elected National Council took place on November 9, 2017.

The coalition negotiations between ÖVP and FPÖ began on October 25th, preceded by exploratory talks between Sebastian Kurz and representatives of all parties elected to parliament. In addition to a higher-level steering group, negotiations were held in five cluster groups and 25 specialist groups. In total, the subgroups of the negotiating teams of the ÖVP and FPÖ consist of 140 people. On December 18, 2017, the Federal Government Kurz I was appointed and sworn in by the Federal President .

Irregularities, breakdowns

In the municipality of Koblach (Vorarlberg) 36 postal voting cards were thrown into the mailbox of the municipality on the election weekend and were only discovered there on Sunday. The electoral file of the municipality was only sent to the Feldkirch district electoral authority after 5 p.m. The 36 postal votes can therefore not be taken into account - a mishap for the community. It is primarily the job of the voters to deliver their voting cards to the district electoral authority on time, i.e. by 5:00 p.m. on election day. In the future, municipalities should point this out to voters.
