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 procedure was introduced, with the Kitzbühel and Kufstein districts being combined to form the Unterland constituency (constituency 7C). 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. After the 2011 census, the number of basic mandates was increased to four.

Since the creation of the constituency, the ÖVP has succeeded in gaining a relative majority in four out of six elections, namely in 1994 and since 2002, with its best result in the 2002 National Council election with 52.8% and an absolute majority once again. In the National Council election in 1995 , the ÖVP recorded its worst result with 29.5% and, as in 1999, slipped behind the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), which was the party with the highest number of votes in these two years. The FPÖ achieved its best election result in 1999 with 31.5%, but slipped to only 11.9% by 2006. As the FPÖ slipped, the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) was able to achieve second place, as it had in 1994, which it has been able to defend since 2002. The SPÖ achieved its best result in 1995 with 26.8%, but most recently the SPÖ posted its worst result in 2008 with 18.5%. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE) have generally received between 8 and 9% of the votes since the constituency was founded, with their worst result in 1995 with 5.7% and their best result in 2006 with 9.8%.
