Vienna Election 2025: Start of Election Materials Delivery
For the total of 1,374,712 eligible voters in Vienna, a total of 1,504 polling stations will be available on election day. They need to be equipped accordingly. When not needed, the relevant items are mostly stored in a warehouse in Floridsdorf.
Delivery to 1,504 Vienna Polling Districts
Currently, around 2,800 voting booths (including 1,200 accessible ones, note), 1,100 ballot boxes, 3,000 tables, 5,500 chairs, 200 partitions, and 20 ramps are being assembled into individual "packages" and delivered to the total of 1,504 polling districts. Not all polling stations are being visited: at some locations, voting booths and ballot boxes are also directly deposited.
Before the equipment leaves the warehouse, it is thoroughly checked and cleaned according to the city hall. The transport began today, Tuesday. During peak times - from Thursday until election day - 32 trucks will be in operation.
Dismantling of Election Equipment Partly Already at Night
By the Wednesday after the election, everything will be dismantled and returned. However, it often has to be done much faster: since quite a few polling stations are located in schools or kindergartens, the election equipment there will be picked up during the night after the election so that regular operations in the facilities can resume in the morning.
The city councilor responsible for elections in Vienna, Jürgen Czernohorszky (SPÖ), paid a visit to the warehouse on Tuesday. "Optimal preparation is the prerequisite for the smooth running of an election," he stated: "I thank all employees for their commitment."
