Vienna Election: Deadline for Applying for Voting Card Expires

A voting card for the Vienna election can be applied for in writing until April 23 (e.g., online) or in person until April 25, 2025, 12 PM, at the responsible election office. With the voting card, voting is possible at any polling station in Vienna or by postal vote. When collecting at the election office, voting can be done immediately on-site if desired. Shielded areas are available for this purpose.

Vienna Election: Collection of Voting Card Also Possible at Election Office

Voting cards that were applied for in writing are usually sent to the voters by registered mail to the desired address. Exceptions are applications with a qualified electronic signature, such as ID Austria. In these cases, the eligible voter can choose whether the voting card is sent by registered mail or without registered mail. Important: If a voting card is applied for after April 22, 2025, timely delivery by post cannot always be guaranteed. It is therefore recommended to collect the voting card in person at the election office in such a case. Those who cannot leave the house on election day have the option to vote by postal vote with a voting card or to request a mobile election commission at short notice. The prerequisite for this is that the voting card is applied for by Friday, April 25, 2025, at 12 PM at the latest. A voting card applied for in writing can also be collected by an authorized person until this time.

Signature on Voting Card for Postal Vote at Home or at Election Office

Once the voting card has been received, voting by postal vote is possible. It is important that the signature on the voting card in the designated area is absolutely necessary. This signature confirms that the official ballot paper(s) was/were filled out independently, unobserved, and uninfluenced. A voting card used for postal voting must arrive at the responsible district election authority by election day, April 27, 2025, at 5 PM (postage-free by mail, by courier, or by personal delivery). The used postal voting card can also be submitted on election day at any polling station in Vienna and at any Vienna district election authority until 5 PM.

Vienna Election: Polling Stations Open Until 5 PM

On election day, all polling stations in Vienna are open from 7 AM to 5 PM. The address of the responsible polling station can be found in the "Official Election Information." This has already been sent by post to all eligible voters in Vienna. Additionally, the responsible polling station can be determined online. Information on applying for a voting card, postal voting, requesting a mobile election commission, and further details on the Vienna election 2025 are also available online. Additionally, the city service is available for information at the phone number 01/400-4001.
