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, with the Kitzbühel and Kufstein districts being combined to form the Oberland constituency (constituency 7D). 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.

Since the creation of the constituency was able to become the strongest party vote the People's Party in every election, while national elections in 2002 reached 58.2% their best result so far. In addition to the 2002 National Council election, the ÖVP was also able to achieve an absolute majority in the 2006 National Council election. The ÖVP suffered its worst result in the last election in 2008, when it missed a direct mandate in the constituency for the first time with 37.4%. The Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) always took second place in the regional constituency until 1999 and achieved its best result in 1995 with 26.8%. The SPÖ also recorded its lowest share of the vote in 2008 with 17.1%. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) was the third strongest force in three out of six elections, reaching its peak value and second place in 1999 with 24.1%, but then falling to its worst result to date of 7.8% in 2002. In 2006 the FPÖ was only the fourth strongest force, but in 2008 it was able to work its way back to third place with 15.7%. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE) achieved between 5.1 and 6.9% in the first three elections in the regional constituency, with the 1995 election being the worst with 5.1%. The Greens, which had always been the fourth strongest force from 1994 to 1999, were able to become the third strongest force in 2002 and 2006 and overtake the FPÖ, with 9.2% they recorded their best result so far. In 2008, however, as the fifth strongest force, they fell behind the Alliance Future Austria (BZÖ), which landed at 8.9% in 2008.
