history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , a single constituency was created for the area of ​​Salzburg with the election regulations of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly (constituency 19), which also included the districts of St. Johann, Tamsweg and Zell am See. 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 . When the National Council electoral code came into force in 1992, the Austrian federal territory was finally subdivided into 43 regional constituencies and a third preliminary investigation was introduced, with the Salzburg regional constituency (constituency 5) being divided into the three regional constituencies of Salzburg City (5A), Flachgau / Tennengau (5B ) for the first investigation ) and Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau (5C). The Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau regional constituency was subsequently assigned four mandates in 1993, although the recalculation of the allocation of mandates between the constituencies in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) for the Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau regional constituency did not lead to any changes.

After the creation of the constituency, the Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau regional constituency was initially dominated by the SPÖ, which was able to establish itself clearly before the ÖVP in the national elections from 1994 to 1999. The SPÖ achieved its best result to date in the 1994 National Council elections with 36.21%. The SPÖ achieved its worst result to date in the last National Council election in 2013 , when it only achieved 25.9%. The Austrian People's Party took second place in the regional constituency between 1994 and 1999, until it achieved a brilliant victory in the 2002 National Council election with 48.0%. This result, which was the highest result ever achieved by a party in this constituency, could not keep the ÖVP in the following elections. It gradually lost and in the last National Council election in 2013, with its worst performance so far, even if it was defending first place, it was only 28.3%. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) took third place in the Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau regional constituency in all elections since 1994 and achieved its best result in the 1999 National Council election with 28.9%, just behind the ÖVP and the SPÖ lagged behind. As a result, the FPÖ fell to 10.8% in 2002, its worst result so far. In 2008 the FPÖ increased again to 18.2% and in 2013 caught up with the ÖVP and SPÖ at 23.9%. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE) always took fourth or fifth place in the regional constituency, with their best result in 2013 with 9.4%. In 2008, however, the Greens were overtaken by the Bündnis Zukunft Österreich (BZÖ) with 13.1% and, as in 1995 (by the Liberal Forum at the time), pushed to fifth place before the BZÖ fell to 3.0% in the last election in 2013 and was still behind FRANK with 5.3% and NEOS with 3.5% remained.
