history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , a single constituency was created for the area of ​​Salzburg with the 1918 electoral code for the election of the constituent national assembly (constituency 19), which also included the districts of Salzburg-Umgebung and Hallein. With the reorganization of the constituencies after the final loss of areas such as South Bohemia and South Tyrol, the unchanged constituency of Salzburg was given constituency number 17. After the electoral code of 1923 was overruled by the Austrofascist government in 1934, the original division of the constituencies was changed after the Second World War largely reintroduced with the constitutional law of October 19, 1945. The constituency of Salzburg was not affected by changes in the following, also due to the introduction of the National Council electoral code in 1971, with which the number of constituencies in Austria was reduced to just nine, the constituency of Salzburg (now as constituency 5) remained unchanged . With the entry into force of the National Council electoral code in 1992, the Austrian federal territory was finally divided into 43 regional constituencies and a third preliminary investigation was introduced, with the Salzburg state electoral district (constituency 5) being divided into the three regional constituencies of Salzburg City (5A), Flachgau / Tennengau (5B ) for the first preliminary investigation ), Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau (5C). The Flachgau / Tennengau regional constituency was subsequently assigned four mandates in 1993, although the recalculation of the distribution of mandates between the constituencies in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) for the Flachgau / Tennengau regional constituency did not lead to any changes.

Since the creation of the constituency, the ÖVP has succeeded in becoming the party with the highest number of votes in every election. In the 2002 National Council elections it achieved its best result to date with 50.2% and an absolute majority. The 2013 ÖVP National Council election had its worst result so far, but defended its first place with 28.8%. Second place in the regional constituency was almost always taken by the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), with its best election result in 1995 with 29.4% and only slightly behind the ÖVP. In the following election in 1999, she then fell behind the FPÖ, but was able to regain second place in the 2002 National Council elections. Nevertheless, the SPÖ subsequently lost successively and in 2013 posted its worst result in the regional constituency to date, falling just behind the FPÖ with 20.0%. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) reached during their upward trend in the 1990s, initially twice third place before they could advance with 29.2% in second place in 1999 and only just fell short of the ÖVP. As a result, the FPÖ fell to 10.4% in 2002, its worst result so far. After the FPÖ had been overtaken by the Greens in 2006, it was able to clearly take third place again in 2008 with 17.5% and in 2013 it was just under second place with 20.3% before the SPÖ. The Greens - Die Grüne Alternative (GRÜNE) were able to increase after a slump in 1995, when they only reached 5.7%, to 13.1% in 2006, whereby they were able to overtake the FPÖ this year and achieved third place once . In 2008, however, the Greens were overtaken by the Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ) and pushed to fifth place. In the last election in 2013, the BZÖ, still behind FRANK with 5.3% and NEOS with 4.6%, fell to 3.4% and the Greens achieved their best result to date and fourth place with 16.2%.
