history

After the end of the State of Austria-Hungary six constituencies were created for the territory of Upper Austria to the Electoral Code in 1918 for the election of the Constituent Assembly, where a constituency named already at that time Hausruckviertel was formed. This constituency (initially constituency 15, from 1923 constituency 14) comprised the area of ​​the judicial districts of Eferding , Frankenmarkt , Grieskirchen , Haag am Hausruck , Lambach , Mondsee , Peuerbach , Schwanenstadt , Vöcklabruck , Waizenkirchen and Wels . After the electoral code of 1923 was overruled by the Austro-Fascist government in 1934, the original division of constituencies was largely reintroduced after the Second World War with the constitutional law of October 19, 1945. The constituency of Hausruckviertel was reintroduced unchanged and remained in existence until 1971, when the National Council electoral code in 1971 finally led to a far-reaching constituency reform for the first time since 1918, which reduced the number of constituencies in Austria to just nine. As a result, there was only one constituency for the federal state of Upper Austria, the constituency of Upper Austria (constituency 4). When the National Council electoral code came into force in 1992, the Austrian federal territory was finally divided into 43 regional constituencies and a third investigation procedure was introduced, with the Eferding, Grieskirchen, Vöcklabruck, Wels-Land and Wels districts again being combined to form the Innviertel constituency (constituency 4C). In 1993, eight seats were assigned to the regional constituency, although the recalculation of the distribution of seats in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) did not result in any changes.

Since the constituency was created, the SPÖ and ÖVP have each achieved a relative majority in three elections. The FPÖ also traditionally performs well in the Hausruckviertel and in 1999 was only just behind the SPÖ in second place. After the ÖVP slumped to its worst result to date with 26.6% in the National Council election in 2008, the SPÖ won the first again after two elections Place in the Hausruckviertel. The FPÖ achieved strong profits, but could not win any more to its previous mandate. As before, the Greens remained slightly below the national average at 9.2%, while the BZÖ performed above the national average in 2008 with 9.9%.
