Asylum, Inflation, Education: These Were the Election Motives in the Vienna Election 2025

"Education" (23 percent), "Crime and Security" (19 percent), and "Healthcare and Nursing" (18 percent) were less decisive for voting.

Figures Beyond Voting Motives

In the election survey, 58 percent of respondents stated that they consider Vienna a livable city. This is significantly less than in the last election in 2020, when it was 74 percent of voters. This time, however, 37 percent stated that Vienna had "lost a lot of quality of life," compared to 23 percent in the last election.

More than half, namely 51 percent, are "very satisfied" (10 percent) or "quite satisfied" (41 percent) with the current city government. 24 percent stated they were "not very satisfied" and 20 percent "not satisfied at all."

Only 29 percent of respondents stated they look at the city's financial budget with confidence. Similarly, a minority, namely 36 percent, look with confidence at the ability of politics to shape the coexistence of the Viennese population well. 39 percent view this issue with concern, 16 percent with anger. The rest made no statement or did not want to commit. Compared to 2020, the timing of the voting decision remained relatively stable: In 2020, 71 percent had decided more than three weeks before the election, this time it was 73 percent. Only 10 percent made their voting decision in the last few days.
