2013 Austrian Legislative Election Sep 29,2013


A legislative election for the National Council will be held in Austria on Sep 29, 2013


The 183 members of the National Council are elected by nation-wide popular vote for a term of five years; each Austrian sixteen years or older on the day the election takes place is entitled to one vote

For the purpose of National Council elections, Austria is divided into nine regional electoral districts corresponding to the 9 States of Austria which are subdivided into a total of 43 local electoral districts

Since there are 43 local districts but 183 seats to fill, local districts will typically have more than one seat assigned to them. The number of seats assigned to each local district is based solely on electoral district population, as established by the most recent census

The Incumbent Govt  is a coalition between  SPÖ and ÖVP, who rule with the SPÖ's Werner Faymann as Chancellor
