history

After the end of the State of Austria-Hungary six constituencies were created for the territory of Upper Austria to the Electoral Code in 1918 for the election of the Constituent Assembly, where a constituency named already at that time Traunviertel was formed. This constituency (initially constituency 16, from 1923 constituency 15) comprised the area of ​​the city of Steyr and the judicial districts of Bad Ischl , Enns , Gmunden , Grünburg , Kirchdorf an der Krems , Kremsmünster , Sankt Florian , Neuhofen an der Krems , Steyr , Weyer and Windischgarsten . 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 Traunviertel constituency was reintroduced unchanged, with the communities of the former St. Florian judicial district remaining in the Traunviertel constituency after the dissolution and merger of the district court with the Linz-Land district court. 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 Gmunden, Kirchdorf an der Krems, Steyr-Land and the city of Steyr being combined to form the Traunviertel constituency (constituency 4D) . The communities of the former District Court of St. Florian thus fell to the newly formed constituency of Linz and the surrounding area . In 1993 the Traunviertel regional constituency 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 creation of the constituency, the SPÖ achieved a relative majority in almost every election, only in 2002 the ÖVP narrowly beat the SPÖ. The FPÖ was almost always in third place, only in 1999 did the FPÖ manage to relegate the ÖVP to third place. While the FPÖ won a basic mandate between 1994 and 1999, it was unable to repeat this success until 2013. The Greens were slightly above the national average until 1995, since then they have performed slightly below the national average in the Traunviertel. The BZÖ was able to overtake the Greens in 2008 and performed well above the national average.
