Problems in one district left Perchtoldsdorf far at the bottom of the list in the National Council elections. The results were not communicated until well after 10 p.m.
What do Vorarlberg, Carinthia, Salzburg, Styria and Burgenland have in common? They all counted the votes faster than Perchtoldsdorf. The results were only communicated to the community in the Mödling district after 10 p.m. This meant that she was assured of the red counting lantern in Lower Austria.
800 votes have been counted
But what was the reason? The polls actually closed at 4 p.m. “In a district with 800 votes, something was wrong and it had to be counted again,” said ÖVP Mayor Andrea Kö. And that took time. “Of course it’s not nice to finish last. But the error has been found and ultimately it is important that the result is correct. The rest doesn’t matter,” says Kö.
The ÖVP was the strongest in Perchtoldsdorf with 31.5 percent of the votes, ahead of the NEOS (18.3 percent) and the FPÖ (17 percent). The SPÖ ended up with 15.3 percent, the Greens with 13.5 percent.
