There is much more work to be done with the postal voting record for the district election authorities. Because it is up to these 23 electoral authorities on Monday to count around 310,000 votes by mail (assuming a slightly lower turnout), while on Sunday 1,494 district electoral authorities count around 470,000 ballot boxes. On Sunday, despite Corona’s protective measures, it shouldn’t take much longer than usual (usually around 8 p.m.) until the provisional general result of the municipal council election is available.
But the electoral authorities of 23 districts have to evaluate almost twice as many voting cards on Monday than in 2015: at that time there were 158,974 votes, and the results of the municipal council election were available in the afternoon, those of the elections of the district council Tuesday night. This year it could be Tuesday before the full results are available. But as soon as the first results of the vote-by-mail are available, the supercomputers can check their vote-by-mail forecasts and, if necessary, adapt their projections.
Waiting for the full result from Strache’s team could be particularly exciting, if the ballot box voters only get a little over five percent. Then it will only be clear from the vote-by-mail count if he really overcomes the hurdle to enter the city council.
