Final Result of the Vienna Election 2025 Including Postal Votes

The SPÖ clearly secured first place in the election on Sunday, albeit with slight losses. The FPÖ made massive gains from a very low level and fifth place, capturing second place ahead of the Greens, who remained stable. The NEOS achieved fourth place with gains, while the ÖVP plummeted to fifth place with record losses.

Since the majority of the postal votes and other voting cards had already been counted in the ballot box results on Sunday, only a comparatively small remainder followed on Monday. This did not significantly change the outcome.

Vienna Election: SPÖ with Small Loss, FPÖ with Record Gain

In the municipal council election, the SPÖ achieved 39.4 percent of the votes in the preliminary final result, which means a decrease of 2.2 percentage points compared to the 2020 election. In the last ballot, the Reds had reached 41.6 percent.

The FPÖ, which started from a value of only 7.1 percent after its Ibiza-related crash in 2020, was able to nearly triple its share, landing at 20.4 percent of the votes. The +13.2 percentage points represent not only the largest gain for the Blues so far but also the largest increase in votes ever in a Vienna election.

Greens Unchanged, ÖVP Plummeted

The Greens were able to almost maintain their share of the vote with 14.5 percent. They only had to give up 0.3 points from 14.8 percent in 2020.

The NEOS were able to gain - by 2.5 points (2020: 7.5 percent). With the current 10 percent, the Liberals overtook the ÖVP and even reached double digits thanks to the Monday postal votes. The People's Party suffered a massive slump on Sunday. From the 20.4 percent in 2020, they lost 10.8 percentage points, which meant the largest turquoise loss in the capital ever, and came to only 9.7 percent. The close match between NEOS and ÖVP was only finally clarified on Monday with the counting of the postal votes.

The voter turnout was 62.7 percent of eligible voters, and thus lower than in 2020 (65.3).

After Vienna Election: SPÖ Has All Options for Coalition Formation

According to the forecasters from Foresight, the SPÖ thus comes to 43 mandates and could continue the coalition with the previous partner NEOS (future ten mandates). A collaboration would also be possible with the ÖVP, which also comes to ten mandates - or with the Greens (with 15 of the total 100 seats in the city parliament). There would also be a solid majority with the FPÖ (22 seats), but this is not an option for the SPÖ.

The KPÖ, which ran together with the LINKS list, failed to pass the five-percent hurdle with 4.0 percent, as did Team Strache (1.1 percent).
