SPÖ Considered Clear Winner of Vienna Election 2025 According to Polls

The polls in the weeks leading up to the Vienna election have painted a stable picture: The SPÖ is likely to emerge as the clear election winner, albeit with losses compared to the election result five years ago. The FPÖ surpassed the 20 percent mark in all polls and stands at an average of 21.8 percent - roughly a tripling compared to the last Vienna election.

Behind them, it is likely to be a close race for third place, as there is only a small gap between the Greens, the ÖVP, and the NEOS. The KPÖ is below the five percent threshold but has slight chances of entering, while the Team HC Strache has even less.

Vienna Election 2025: When Will Projections and Results Come?

New in the Vienna election 2025 is that not all postal votes will be counted only the day after the election. In Vienna, similar to the new regulation for national elections, ballots (except those from non-Austrian EU citizens, note) that arrive by Friday at 5:00 p.m. will be counted in the responsible precincts. This means that the preliminary result on election night will be closer to the final one, and the precinct results will also be more meaningful for analyses.

The last polling stations close at 5:00 p.m., shortly after which there will be no projection yet, but an initial trend forecast. The first projection is expected between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. The first results of the precincts and districts are not expected to be available before 7:00 p.m. The preliminary final result (already with the majority of postal votes) is not expected before 9:00 p.m. Only after that will the district council results be published, with results of entire districts not expected by the election authority before 11:00 p.m. When the preliminary overall result of the district council elections will arrive is hard to estimate; in 2020, it was not available until after 3:00 a.m.
