Burgenland elects a new state parliament today. There are a total of 250,400 eligible voters in the 171 municipalities. The first polling station opened its doors in Bad Sauerbrunn at 6:45 am. A total of 36 mandates are awarded. So far, the SPÖ has won 19 seats, the ÖVP 11, the FPÖ 4 and the Greens 2. The most important question: can Governor Hans Peter Doskozil (SPÖ) defend his absolute majority?
Hofer as the winner?
Strong gains are predicted for the FPÖ with top candidate Norbert Hofer, who could even take second place. The ÖVP, led by Christian Sagartz, is threatened with heavy losses. According to the latest poll, the Greens with frontwoman Anja Haider-Wallner should also tremble.
Projection from 4 p.m
The Neos want to reach the state parliament for the first time with top candidate Christoph Schneider. Ex-FPÖ mandate Géza Molnár has the same goal with his Common Sense list. The last polling stations in Burgenland close at 4 p.m. The first projection will be available shortly afterwards.
