Preliminary Final Result of the Vienna Election 2025
The SPÖ clearly secured first place in the Vienna election on Sunday. According to the preliminary final result (with almost all postal votes), the Reds come in at a slight minus with 39.5 percent. The FPÖ made strong gains, reaching 20.8 percent. The Greens were able to almost maintain their share of the vote with 14.2 percent. The close match between NEOS and ÖVP for fourth place will likely be decided only with the postal votes on Monday.
On election night, NEOS and ÖVP were close behind each other with 9.8 and 9.7 percent, respectively. The few remaining postal votes, which will only be counted on Monday, will only slightly change the result. According to the forecasters of the Foresight Institute, the race for fourth place between NEOS and ÖVP will only be finally clarified on Monday. Most of the votes cast via postal voting were already counted on Sunday.
According to the projection by the Foresight Institute for APA and ORF including postal vote estimation (counting level 99.8 percent), the SPÖ comes in at 39.5 percent, the FPÖ at 20.4 percent, and the Greens at 14.5 percent. It is close for fourth place between NEOS (9.9 percent) and the ÖVP (9.7). The margin of error for this projection is still +/-0.3 percentage points, meaning the race for fourth place will only be decided after the remaining postal votes are counted on Monday. Most of the votes cast via postal voting were already counted on Sunday.
SPÖ lost a little, ÖVP massively
Compared to the 2020 result, the SPÖ lost only slightly with a minus of 2.2 percentage points (result including postal vote forecast). In the last election, the Reds came in at 41.6 percent. The ÖVP plummeted from the then 20.4 percent, losing 10.7 percentage points - the largest turquoise loss in the capital ever.
The FPÖ gained a substantial 13.2 points including the postal vote estimate (also a record) and was able to almost triple its share of the vote from the Ibiza-related low (7.1 percent). The Greens were able to almost maintain their voter share. From the 14.8 percent in 2020, the eco-party only had to give up 0.3 points. The NEOS were able to gain - by 2.5 points (2020: 7.5 percent).
SPÖ with three coalition possibilities
The SPÖ is projected (according to the Foresight projection) to secure 43 seats and could thus continue the coalition with the previous partner NEOS (future ten seats). A collaboration would also be possible with the ÖVP, which also comes to ten seats - or with the Greens (with 15 of the total 100 seats in the city parliament). There would also be a clear majority with the FPÖ (22 seats), but this is not an option for the SPÖ.
KPÖ and Strache failed in Vienna election
The KPÖ, which ran together with the LINKS list, failed to pass the five percent hurdle with 4.0 percent, as did the Strache team (1.1 percent).
Initial trends in the Vienna districts
On Sunday evening, the first preliminary final results of the district council election were also received. Simmering has already been counted. There, the SPÖ was able to achieve 42.1 percent of the votes - and thus even slightly increase by 0.6 percentage points. The FPÖ, which had hoped to conquer the district as it did in 2015, came to 37 percent. This is an increase of 8.6 percentage points.
The Green stronghold Neubau was also counted relatively quickly. Compared to 2020, the Greens were able to increase by half a percentage point to 45.5 percent. The SPÖ in second place comes to just half of the Green votes with 22 percent.
Overall, the tension regarding district councils seems to be limited according to a Foresight projection for APA and ORF. The Greens are likely to clearly retain Josefstadt. The 8th district has repeatedly changed hands. The ÖVP was able to wrest it from the Greens in 2015. The hope for a blue district leader in Floridsdorf or Donaustadt has not been fulfilled for the FPÖ according to the projection.
