history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , several electoral districts were created for the area of Lower Austria with the election regulations of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, whereby the area of today's constituency of Lower Austria South essentially corresponded to the southern part of the newly created constituency district under the Vienna Woods . 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. As a result, the constituency Viertel unterm Wienerwald was affected several times by area shifts, until a far-reaching constituency reform was carried out through the National Council electoral code in 1971. The 1971 National Council electoral code reduced the number of constituencies in Austria to just nine. As a result, there was only one constituency for the federal state of Lower Austria, the constituency of Lower Austria (constituency 3). 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 Neunkirchen, Wiener Neustadt-Land and the city of Wiener Neustadt being combined to form the Lower Austria South constituency (constituency 3E). The regional constituency of Lower Austria South was subsequently assigned four seats in 1993, 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 SPÖ has achieved a relative majority in every National Council election. The ÖVP landed in second place in every election, the FPÖ in third.
