17:05 – First reactions from the parties

Waiting, but nevertheless cautiously optimistic, SPÖ state party secretary Georg Niedermühlbichler was shortly before 5:00 p.m .: You only have survey results, but “this is a duel, and whoever is first has won the duel. I assume that the SPÖ is ahead, “he emphasized in front of journalists.grade my essay Mayor Michael Häupl certainly does not wobble.

At this point in time, he was not disappointed, “every minus is bad”, but it means simply continuing to work in the future, says Niedermühlbichler. Mayor Häupl is sitting firmly in his chair in Vienna, despite what is perhaps the historically worst SPÖ result in Vienna: “We clearly saw that the people voted SPÖ because of Mayor Michael Häupl.” There was an election campaign for attitude and humanity, that’s what Häupl stands for. But now it is time to wait for the projections.

Hofer “in joyful anticipation” for FPÖ

In view of the first estimates for the Vienna state elections, the liberal federal party has also shown itself to be very satisfied: they are “in joyous anticipation,” said the third president of the National Council, Norbert Hofer, to the APA on Sunday afternoon. If it comes to the result that is currently emerging, one would be “overjoyed”.

The effects of the election on federal politics are currently not entirely clear, said Hofer. But he would be surprised if there were no reactions from those parties that are losing heavily. But he didn’t want to give a real assessment: “I’d have to be an expert on chaos theory.”

Wallner: Red-blue duel sucked green voices

The Green Federal Managing Director Stefan Wallner sees the predicted loss of the Greens due to the duel over Vienna caused by the SPÖ and FPÖ. Many Green voters had apparently this time, SP top candidate Michael Häupl, their vote to prevent FPÖ chairman Heinz-Christian Strache from becoming first, he told journalists on Sunday afternoon.

His personal opinion is that these voters who have switched to the SPÖ are also in favor of the continuation of a red-green coalition in the federal capital. That is why he is in favor of top candidate Maria Vassilakou, even if his party’s share of the vote is lost. The latter had announced their withdrawal in this case.

Wallner did not want to assess which coalitions would actually be possible after today’s election. In any case, it is clear that those who are in favor of an open, social and human rights-based Vienna have the majority.

NEOS “very confident”

In view of the first estimates of the Vienna election, the NEOS are “very confident” of overcoming the five percent hurdle. “It looks very good for us,” said Federal Managing Director Feri Thierry when asked by the APA. He assumes that for the first time in 20 years a new party will move into the Vienna Landtag, from Thierry’s point of view a “very great success”.

17:00 – The first numbers

According to SORA’s trend estimate for ORF, first place in the Vienna state elections has not yet been decided. According to this “Poll of the Polls” calculation, the SPÖ will account for between 34.5 and 37.5 percent, while the FPÖ will account for 33 to 36 percent. The Greens lose, the ÖVP threatens to slide into the single digits. The NEOS should make the move. A survey carried out by pollster Peter Hajek for the private broadcaster ATV also points to a close race for first place in the Vienna election. In Hajek’s high estimate, the SPÖ with 37 percent is just ahead of the FPÖ with 35 percent. Including fluctuations, the red-blue match would still be open. The numbers are based on surveys conducted on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

According to SORA, the Greens can count on eleven percent, the ÖVP with nine and the NEOS with five percent. Including fluctuations, the SPÖ came to 34 to 40 percent in the survey, the FPÖ to 32 to 38 percent. For the Greens, the bandwidth ranges from nine to 13 percent, for the ÖVP from seven to eleven and for the NEOS from four to six. A total of 1,200 people were interviewed. So both the race for first place and the question of whether the NEOS can make the leap over the five percent hurdle remain exciting.

SPÖ in Hajek’s high esteem just ahead of the FPÖ

16:35 – Bingo!

In ten minutes there will be the first figures and with them the first comments from the parties. If you want to make it a little more enjoyable: Here’s the one

15:35 -This is how the candidates vote

By 2 p.m. all top candidates have made use of their democratic rights. At his polling station in Ottakring, Michael Häupl was confident that the “duel” would be decided in favor of social democracy.

Häupl’s fifth election as mayor

Even media representatives from abroad had made the trip to the 16th district – to find out what the expected gains for the Freedom Party would mean for Europe. Häupl was calm, which was not particularly surprising given the fifth choice he had to beat. He avoided questions about possible pain thresholds – that is, results for which he would consider resigning.

Afterwards, Häupl and his entourage went to one of his ancestral inns in Margareten. There was a big rush there: not only numerous media representatives, but almost the entire red city councilors had come for lunch.

Vassilakou “a little nervous”

The green top candidate Maria Vassilakou voted in a school in Hernals. In front of journalists, she pretended to be “a little nervous” but confident. “I hope the Greens will grow,” she said. She, too, was rather cautious about some questions – for example those after her prospect of withdrawing if she lost the election. She is aiming for more than 95,000 votes in the last election, she stressed, the Greens should gain and be represented in the next government.

ÖVP top candidate Manfred Juraczka also stepped into action in Hernals – namely in the local office there. The fact that Juraczka let a TV camera film from behind when ticking the box caused brief unrest among the election workers. He was more cautious when it came to predictions: “Reading coffee brew now won’t do anything.” Finally he let himself be carried away: “I hope that we are in front of the Greens and I think that Michael Häupl will be in front of Mr. Strache.”

NEOS top candidate Beate Meinl-Reisinger sprayed confidence when she cast her vote in a high school in Alsergrund: “It will be a very good Sunday,” she was optimistic. Although she was briefly sentimental in view of the location: “It’s a nice feeling to be in my old school.” The Vienna NEOS boss assured her that she was going to vote with a “good feeling”. The pink troop is fighting for the first time today to move into the Vienna City Hall.

Strache hopes for a “historic result”

As the last of the top candidates in the Viennese state elections, FPÖ boss Heinz-Christian Strache went to the polls in the afternoon. He “hope, believe and trust” in a historical result, Strache showed himself to journalists of good cheer.

The polling station in the elementary school in Hainburger Strasse in Vienna’s 3rd district was bursting at the seams with dozens of media representatives from abroad, including those from abroad. Already an hour before the announced date, numerous journalists, photographers and cameramen gathered in the classroom, who were regularly reminded to calm down by the election assessors.

Strache is hoping for “the best result in history,” that is, over 30 percent for the Freedom Party or a “constitutional blocking minority” in the state parliament. Perhaps it would be possible to be head to head with the SPÖ. To beat the SPÖ would be “a blue miracle,” said Strache.

Result 2010

In the 2010 election, the SPÖ had to cope with a drop of 4.75 percentage points and came to 44.34 percent. With this, the Reds lost the absolute majority in mandate – and had to look for a coalition partner. Mayor Häupl opted for the Greens, Maria Vassilakou became Deputy Mayor. In the previous election you ended up with a minus of 1.99 percentage points to 12.64 percent.

The FPÖ already gained a remarkable 10.94 percentage points in 2010. With 25.77 percent, it was clearly the second strongest force. This year, FPÖ boss Strache hopes to be first. In view of the refugee crisis, the surveys predict that he will at least have renewed strong gains. The ÖVP came in 2010 to 13.99 percent – so it was still clearly ahead of the Greens. However, this could change today, according to the latest projections.

15:24 – The process of the election evening

The residents of the capital have until 5 p.m. to cast their votes. You have to wait a long time for the end result this time. At around 8 p.m., the overall result of the Vienna election is to be announced. But it lacks more than 160,000 votes that were cast by postal vote or with voting cards in foreign constituencies. They won’t be counted until Monday. If it runs out today, you would have to wait until Monday night to find out the outcome of the election. The supercomputers give out postal voting forecasts.

In any case, it remains exciting until 5 p.m. – and beyond, as the first projections will not be available until around 6 p.m. However, around 204,000 voting cards were issued (with around 1.14 million eligible voters). ARGE Wahlen estimates that 160,000 of them will not be counted until Monday. Because only the part that is used to cast votes in one’s own constituency counts on Sunday. For comparison: the electoral authority cannot say when exactly the complete overall result will be available. “On Tuesday night,” was the information in the town hall.

Because this year everything is different: Much more voting cards were applied for than ever before. And in the 2010 election – since there was still the eight-day grace period – they were counted in two tranches, this year they all have to be evaluated at once. Even a comparison with the 2013 National Council election does not bring much: There is only one election to be counted, but in Vienna the municipal council and district representative elections each with preferential votes.

In Vienna, the provisional overall result of the municipal council elections is expected at around 8:00 pm, but that of the district representative elections only around midnight. The final results will not be “official” until October 20, when the electoral authorities meet. This is where the deadlines for contesting the elections begin: Objections to the numerical determination and attribution of ballot papers can be raised within three days. The election can be challenged at the Constitutional Court within four weeks after the official final result is available – or a decision on an objection.

3:11 pm – High turnout

As the head of the Vienna City Election Authority, City Councilor Sandra Frauenberger, has just announced, the turnout for the 2015 municipal and district council elections at 2 p.m. was 37.84 percent.

In comparison, the turnout in the last Viennese municipal council and district council elections in 2010 at the same time was 36.62 percent. The final turnout (including postal voting cards) was 67.63 percent in 2010.
