The Weinviertel regional constituency (constituency 3A) is a regional constituency in Austria that is formed in the case of elections to the National Council for the assignment of mandates in the first preliminary investigation . The constituency includes the political districts Hollabrunn , Korneuburg and Mistelbach and thus largely includes the area of ​​the Weinviertel of the same name . In the 2017 National Council election , 171,571 people were eligible to vote in the Weinviertel regional constituency, with the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) emerging as the strongest party with 39.7%. Of the 5 basic mandates to be awarded, one mandate each went to the ÖVP, the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ).

history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , several electoral districts were created for the area of ​​Lower Austria with the electoral code of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, whereby the area of ​​today's Weinviertel constituency essentially corresponded to that of the newly created district of Viertel under Manhartsberg . 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. As a result, the constituency of Viertel unterm Manhartsberg was affected several times by area shifts, until a far-reaching constituency reform took place through the National Council electoral code in 1971. The 1971 National Council electoral code reduced the number of constituencies in Austria to just nine. As a result, there was only one constituency for the federal state of Lower Austria, the constituency of Lower Austria (constituency 3). 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 Gänserndorf, Hollabrunn, Korneuburg and Mistelbach districts being combined to form the Weinviertel constituency (constituency 3A). The Weinviertel regional constituency was subsequently assigned 6 mandates in 1993, with the recalculation of the distribution of mandates between the federal states in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) being given an additional mandate for this constituency. From 2002 to 2017 there were therefore 7 mandates in the Weinviertel constituency. Before the 2017 National Council election , the Gänserndorf district was reclassified into the newly created Lower Austria East regional constituency . This reduced the maximum number of basic mandates to be awarded in the constituency to 5.

Since the creation of the constituency, the ÖVP has achieved a relative majority in every election to the National Council. Once in the National Council election on November 24, 2002 , she even managed to achieve an absolute majority with 50.2%. However, in the 2008 National Council election, the ÖVP dropped 34.3% to its worst value to date. The SPÖ, which has always occupied second place since 1994, also achieved its worst result in the 2008 National Council election with 30.2. In contrast, the FPÖ was able to post its second-best result in 2008, with the FPÖ, as in every election since 1994, being the third-strongest party. From 1999 to 2017, the Greens established themselves as the fourth strongest party.
