And the electoral authority has now also announced the mandates that have been fulfilled. The SP is represented in the new municipal council with 46 mandates, the VP with 22, the Greens with 16, NEOS and FP with eight each. Ultimately FP only ranks behind NEOS.
The number of mail-in votes that district electoral authorities had to count on Monday and Tuesday was greater than ever: Nearly 44 percent of the votes were cast by mail or at the district office before October 11. 317,091 valid votes were added to the voting result, and they changed a lot.
So the map of the city, which was colored red all Sunday after the elections, got two turquoise dots: in the city center and in Hietzing, the vice president is far ahead of the SP.
Overall, VP and Grne did well with voters, not as extrapolators expected. In the end, the PV surpassed the 20 percent mark, at 20.43 percent, an increase of 11.19 percentage points. The number of its deputies has more than tripled, from seven to 22.
Green with the best Viennese result
The Greens finally came out with their best Viennese result each – 14.80 percent (+2.96) – and they are six more residents (previously 10). You are now the third most powerful force in place of the collapsed FP.
The SP defended the undisputed first place, and increased it by 2.03 percentage points to 41.62 percent, as well as the number of mandates from 44 to 46. However, unlike previous years, it was significantly worse with postal voters, with Voters got 43.09 percent.
The election winners also include NEOS, which rose to 7.47 percent (+1.31) and its terms from five to eight.

Strache failed
This time, the losers in the elections found themselves in the “third field”, which was still so successful in 2015: the FP collapsed from the record level of 30.79 to just 7.11 percent as a result of Ibiza and the expense issue. 26 of his 34 leaders so far have to say goodbye, and also from the position of vice mayor.
Former FP boss Heinz-Christian Strache failed: His new party, the HC Strache roster, stayed well below the five percent hurdle at 3.27 percent. Both FP and HC performed well below average among voters, their overall results significantly worse than the ballot box results announced Sunday.
Of course, voter turnout increased with voters by mail, to 65.27 percent. Of course, this still means a sharp drop of 9.48 percentage points. This was due, on the one hand, to the crown pandemic and, on the other, to the fact that many former FP voters stayed away from the polls.
