The regional constituency of Vienna North-West (constituency 9F) 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 four districts of Vienna, 16.  Ottakring , 17.  Hernals , 18.  Währing and 19.  Döbling . In the 2017 National Council election , 172,570 people in the Vienna North-West regional constituency were eligible to vote, with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) emerging as the strongest party with 31.7%. In the election, the SPÖ and ÖVP were each able to achieve one of the five basic mandates.

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, whereby the electoral districts Vienna Northwest (constituency 3) and Vienna West (constituency 7) were created for the area of ​​today's regional constituency which, however, 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 was introduced, with the Ottakring, Hernals, Währing and Döbling districts being combined to form the Vienna North-West regional constituency (constituency 9E). In 1993 the regional constituency was assigned six mandates, whereby the recalculation of the mandate distribution in 2002 (based on the results of the 2001 census) led to a reduction to five direct mandates.

Since the creation of the constituency, the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) has succeeded in becoming the party with the highest number of votes in every election, and in the National Council elections in 1995 it achieved its best result to date with 38.5%. The SPÖ recorded its worst result in the last National Council election in 2008, when it came to 29.8%. The second strongest party in four out of six elections was the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), which recorded its highest level in 2002 with 35.8% and was only slightly behind the SPÖ. As a result, the ÖVP gradually lost until 2008, when it achieved its second-worst result to date with 22.7%. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) was able to establish itself in second place in 1994 and 1999, ahead of the ÖVP, and achieved its best result in 1999 with 23.3%. However, the FPÖ fell to 7.7% in the following election and was only fourth in the 2002, 2006 and 2008 elections. The Greens - The Green Alternative (GRÜNE), in contrast, achieved third place from 2002 and achieved their best result so far in 2006 with 20.1%.
