Preliminary Final Result of the Burgenland State Election 2025

The SPÖ clearly defended first place in the Burgenland state election on Sunday with 46.4 percent (-3.6) of the votes. After counting all votes, the SPÖ is clearly ahead of the FPÖ, which achieved a record increase of +13.3 percentage points to 23.1 percent, thus overtaking the ÖVP (22.0 percent/-8.6). The Greens managed to re-enter with 5.7 percent (-1.1). The NEOS failed with 2.1 percent (+0.4).

Preliminary Final Result of the Burgenland Election 2025

The Social Democrats have not only lost votes, but also the absolute majority of seats. They now hold only 17 seats (-2) in the 36-seat state parliament. This would theoretically make a majority against the SPÖ possible - but a cooperation between FPÖ, ÖVP and the Greens is realistically probably out of the question. A two-party coalition between FPÖ and ÖVP is not possible: both parties together also only have 17 seats (FPÖ: 9, ÖVP: 8). The Greens, as before, have two seats.

NEOS and HAUS List Failed

The NEOS have once again failed to cross the four percent hurdle, achieving only 2.1 percent. The Common Sense (HAUS) list achieved 0.8 percent and also did not make it into the state parliament. Voter turnout was 78.7 percent of eligible voters (2020: 74.94 percent).
