The Tyrolean ÖVP, who has the abbreviation “MATTLE” in the state elections, can take the first place on the ballot papers. The national election authority came to this conclusion on Wednesday.
Recently, there has been a discussion about whether the new abbreviation means that blacks should not be considered a new group of voters and should therefore “stand in line” on the list.
Other designation 2018
However, it has now been established that the voter group submitted by the ÖVP is identical to that of 2018. In the 2018 state elections, the Tyrolean ÖVP ran with the abbreviation “VP Tirol”. The long description read “Governor Günther Dish of the Tyrolean People’s Party”. Now you chose the surname of the top candidate and ÖVP chairman Anton Mattle as a short name, “Anton Mattle Tyrolean People’s Party” in the long form above.
Mattle in VP tradition
The state electoral authority concluded that there was continuity with 2018 and that the Mattle electoral group — provided the respective proposals for district elections were admissible — should be ranked as the first electoral group, the returning state official said. The criteria for continuity of the 2018 and 2022 ÖVP electoral groups would “clearly outweigh,” it said. The provincial electoral authority consists of 13 members: 12 evaluators (including three judges and representatives of the parties according to the voting ratio in the last election) and a chairman.
Opposition: ÖVP wants to hide “damaged brand”.
The Tyrolean ÖVP, who is struggling with bad polls, was accused by the other parties of wanting with this move only to hide the damaged brand ÖVP and to draw attention to their not yet well-known top candidate. The ÖVP, on the other hand, states that the group of voters is identical to that of 2018.
After the decision on Wednesday, ÖVP state manager Martin Malaun said the opposition’s “artificial excitement” was completely unnecessary and the People’s Party remained “number one on the ballot”. The fact that the opposition speaks of voter fraud is a “deliberate provocation”.
