history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , two electoral districts were created for the area of ​​Tyrol with the electoral code of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, whereby the electoral district of North Tyrol (constituency 25) was formed for the area of ​​today's regional constituency, which, with the exception of East Tyrol, was the whole , today's state of Tyrol included. After areas such as South Tyrol and South Bohemia had to be finally ceded by Austria to the successor states of Austria-Hungary, the constituency of Tyrol (constituency 18) was created from the remaining parts of Tyrol . 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. With the National Council electoral code in 1971, there was a far-reaching reform of the constituencies, which reduced the number of constituencies in Austria to just nine. For the federal state of Tyrol nothing changed except for the number of the constituency (now constituency 7). 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 was introduced, with Innsbruck becoming the constituency of Graz (constituency 7A). In 1993 the regional constituency was assigned three mandates, whereby the recalculation of the mandate distribution in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) did not lead to any changes. After the 2011 census, the number of basic mandates was reduced to two.

Since the creation of the constituency, the SPÖ has succeeded in gaining a relative majority in two out of six elections, namely in 1994 and 1995, with the National Council election in 1995 with 31.9% and the National Council election in 2008 with 19.8% worst result achieved. The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) won a relative majority in the National Council elections in 2002 , 2006 and 2008, and in 2002 it achieved the best result of all parties with 39.3%. In contrast, the ÖVP recorded its worst result to date in the 1999 National Council election , when it only finished third with 22.0%, as in the two previous elections. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) posted its best results so far in the 1990s, when it took second place in 1995 and finally moved up to first place in 1999 with 27.5%. After that, however, the FPÖ slipped to fourth place and landed behind the Greens in two elections in a row. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE) profited above all from the decline of the Liberal Forum , which was very strong in Innsbruck, and came in third in the 2002 and 2006 elections, ahead of the FPÖ. The Greens achieved their best result in 2013 with 24.2%.
