history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , a single constituency was created for the area of ​​the province of Salzburg with the election regulations of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly (constituency 19), which also included the city of Salzburg. 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 preliminary investigation ), Lungau / Pinzgau / Pongau (5C). The regional constituency of Salzburg City was subsequently assigned three mandates in 1993, although the recalculation of the distribution of mandates between the federal states in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) for the regional constituency of Salzburg City did not lead to any changes.

Since the creation of the constituency, the SPÖ has managed to achieve a relative majority in three out of six elections, with the National Council election in 1995 achieving its best result with 32.0% and its worst result in the National Council election in 2008 with 24.2%. Despite this poor result, the SPÖ took first place in 2008. The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) won the relative majority in the National Council elections in 2002 and 2006 , with 39.5% in 2002, the best result of all parties to date and the only party to achieve a basic mandate. No party had succeeded in this before or after. In contrast, the ÖVP recorded its worst result so far in the National Council election in 1999 , when it only finished third with 20.8%, as in the two previous elections. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) posted its best results so far in the 1990s, when it took second place in 1994 and 1995 and finally moved up to first place in 1999 with 30.3%. After that, however, the FPÖ slipped to fourth place and ended up behind the Greens in three consecutive elections. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE) benefited above all from the decline of the Liberal Forum , which was very strong in Salzburg, and were able to place third in the elections in 2002, 2006 and 2008, ahead of the FPÖ. The Greens achieved their best result in 2006 with 19.4%.
