history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , two constituencies were created for the area of ​​Tyrol with the electoral order of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, with the electoral district of North Tyrol (constituency 25) being 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, whereby the Innsbruck-Land and Schwaz districts were combined to form the Innsbruck-Land constituency (constituency 7B). In 1993 the regional constituency was assigned five seats, although the recalculation of the distribution of seats in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) did not lead to any changes.

Since the creation of the constituency, the ÖVP has succeeded in becoming the party with the strongest vote in every election. In the 2002 National Council elections, with 51.1%, it achieved its best result to date and an absolute majority. The ÖVP achieved its worst result so far in the National Council election in 1995 , when it was only able to narrowly defend its first place with 29.9%. In the last National Council election in 2008 , the ÖVP posted its second-worst result to date with 30.0%. Second place in the regional constituency was generally occupied by the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), with its best election result in 1995 with 27.4% and only slightly behind the ÖVP. Nevertheless, the SPÖ fell behind the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) in 1995 and 1999 , which reached its peak in 1999 with 28.9%. As a result, the FPÖ fell to 9.9% in 2002, its worst result so far. After the FPÖ was overtaken by the Greens in 2002 and 2006, it was able to clearly take third place again in 2008 with 17.4%. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE) were able to increase after a slump in 1995, when they only reached 6.5%, to 13.0% by 2006, where they recently fell back to 10.9%. The Alliance for the Future of Austria (BZÖ) landed in 2008 with 9.4% just behind the Greens in 5th place.
