history

After the end of the state of Austria-Hungary , seven electoral districts were created for the area of ​​Vienna with the electoral code of 1918 for the election of the constituent national assembly, with the inner-east electoral districts (constituency 1) and Vienna inner-west (constituency 2) and Vienna Northwest (constituency 3) passed, but also included other districts. After Vienna gained its independence from Lower Austria in the early 1920s and areas such as South Tyrol and South Bohemia were finally ceded by Austria to the successor states, the constituencies were reorganized in 1923. However, this reorganization did not affect the existing constituencies of Vienna. After the electoral code of 1923 was overruled by the Austro-Fascist government in 1934, the original division of the constituencies after the Second World War was largely reintroduced with the constitutional law of October 19, 1945, although the borders of the constituencies were aligned with the changed borders of Vienna . 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. As a result, there was only one constituency for the federal state of Vienna (now constituency 9). 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, whereby the inner city, Mariahilf, Neubau, Josefstadt and Alsergrund districts were combined to form the inner-west Vienna inner-west constituency (constituency 9B). 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 change in the number of basic mandates.

After the creation of the constituency, the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) succeeded in becoming the party with the largest number of votes in the three elections in the 1990s, achieving its best result so far in the 1995 National Council elections with 33.3%. The SPÖ recorded its worst result in the last National Council election in 2008, when it came to 22.4%. In the 2002 election, the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) replaced the SPÖ as the party with the highest number of votes and achieved its best result to date with 36.7%. After the ÖVP slipped to its worst result of 24.9% by 2008, Die Grünen - Die Grüne Alternative (GRÜNE) advanced to first place in 2006. The Greens were able to mark their best value in 2006 with 30.2%, whereby they were able to hold first place in 2008 as well. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) reached its highest value in 1999 with 18.7%, although it did not get above third place even this year. Since then, the FPÖ has only occupied fourth place in the Inner-West regional constituency.
