history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , two constituencies were created for the area of ​​Tyrol with the electoral code of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly East Tyrol and the German-speaking areas of Welschtirol . After South Tyrol had to be finally ceded by Austria to Italy, the remaining parts of Tyrol, i. H. the constituency of Tyrol (constituency 18) was created from North and East 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 regulations came into force in 1992, the Austrian federal territory was finally divided into 43 regional constituencies and a third investigation procedure was introduced, whereby the Lienz district was elevated to the constituency of East Tyrol (constituency 7E). In 1993 the regional constituency was assigned a mandate, although 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, the ÖVP has succeeded in becoming the party with the strongest vote in every election, and in the 2002 National Council elections it achieved its best result to date with 64.3%. In addition to the 2002 National Council election, the ÖVP was also able to achieve an absolute majority in the 1994 National Council election and the 2006 National Council election. The ÖVP suffered its worst result in the last election in 2008, when it came to 39.3%. After the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) slipped into third place behind the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ ) in the National Council elections between 1994 and 1999 , it was able to advance to second place from 2002 to 2008. Nevertheless, the SPÖ recorded its best result in 1995 with 20.0% and its worst result in 2008 with 13.8%. The FPÖ achieved its best result in 1999 with 24.3%, then slipped to 9.9% by 2006 and even behind Die Grünen - Die Grüne Alternative (GREEN), who had their best result in 2006 with 11.2%. In 2008, however, as the fifth strongest force, they also fell behind the Alliance Future Austria (BZÖ), which in 2008 landed at 13.4%.
