Official Final Result of the Burgenland Election 2025
The result of the Burgenland state election on January 19th is now official. This was announced by the state election authority on Friday after a meeting. Compared to the result published on election night, there have been no changes, percentages and mandates remain the same. The SPÖ is clearly in first place with 46.38 percent of the votes. Behind them are the FPÖ with 23.09, the ÖVP with 21.98 and the Greens with 5.66 percent.
Result of the Burgenland Election 2025 Now Official
The NEOS with 2.07 percent and the Hausverstand list with 0.81 percent clearly missed the four percent hurdle for entry into the state parliament. The 36 mandates are therefore distributed among four parties as before: 17 go to the SPÖ, nine to the FPÖ, eight to the ÖVP and two to the Greens. The red-green state government, which is currently being negotiated, would thus come to 19 mandates and would have the narrowest possible majority with one mandate surplus.
Compared to the 2020 state election, the SPÖ under Governor Hans Peter Doskozil lost 3.56 percentage points and thus also the absolute majority. So things are getting tighter in terms of personnel: the Social Democrats have to vacate two state parliament seats and probably one in the state government for Green state spokeswoman Anja Haider-Wallner. She also recorded a minus of 1.06 percentage points, but held both mandates for the Greens and thus the club status.
Voter Turnout Increased in Burgenland State Election
The Freedom Party recorded a plus of 13.30 percentage points and five mandates in the final result. The ÖVP lost 8.60 percentage points and three mandates and is now only the third largest club in the state house for the first time. Voter turnout was 78.73 percent, 3.79 percentage points higher than in the 2020 state election.
For the NEOS, who recorded a plus of 0.36 percentage points, only just over 4,000 voters voted across Burgenland. The Hausverstand list of former FPÖ politician Geza Molnar convinced only about 1,600 Burgenlanders on its first attempt.
