The Mühlviertel regional constituency (constituency 4E) is a regional constituency in Austria that is formed in the case of elections to the National Council for the assignment of mandates in the first preliminary investigation . The constituency includes the political districts of Freistadt , Perg , Rohrbach and Urfahr-Umgebung and corresponds in its scope to the state electoral district of Mühlviertel and largely the historical Mühlviertel landscape . In the 2013 National Council election , 217,789 people were eligible to vote in the Mühlviertel regional constituency, with the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) emerging as the strongest party with 37.3%. Of the four basic mandates awarded, two were for the ÖVP and one each for the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).

history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , six constituencies were created for the area of ​​Upper Austria with the electoral code of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, whereby an electoral district with the name Mühlviertel was already formed at that time . This constituency (initially constituency 17, from 1923 constituency 16) included the judicial districts of Aigen , Freistadt , Grein , Haslach , Lembach , Leonfelden , Mauthausen , Neufelden , Perg , Pregarten , Rohrbach and Unterweißbach . 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 Mühlviertel constituency was reintroduced unchanged in size, even though the Haslach judicial district, for example, had since been dissolved. With the National Council electoral code in 1971, there was for the first time a far-reaching reform of the constituencies, 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 political districts of Freistadt, Perg, Rohrbach and Urfahr-Umgebung being combined to form the Mühlviertel constituency (constituency 4D). In contrast to the original Mühlviertel constituency, the new constituency of Mühlviertel was expanded to include the Urfahr-Umgebung district. In 1993 the regional constituency Mühlviertel was assigned six 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 constituency was created, the ÖVP has achieved a relative majority in every election, and the SPÖ has consistently come in second. The FPÖ was almost continuously in third place, only in 2006 the Greens managed to relegate the FPÖ to fourth place. With the exception of 2002 and 2006, she thus achieved a basic mandate. The Greens were slightly above the national average until 1995, and since then they have performed slightly below the national average in the Mühlviertel.
