1978 Referendum on the use of Nuclear Energy in Austria:

()

Yes: 49.5%
No: 50.5%

Green: Yes
Blue: No

A nuclear power plant was built in Zwentendorf, Lower Austria, in 1972 because then-Chancellor Bruno Kreisky (SPÖ) was sure that the Austrian voters would overwhelmingly support the use of Nuclear Energy in the referendum.

My parents said they will never forget the expression on his face that day when he saw the above result. ;)

Unsurprisingly the opposition conservatives tried to blame him for the defeated proposal - but it backfired and in the following 1979 federal elections Kreisky scored his best result for the SPÖ ever.

I salute a fellow non-British European making maps of non-UK EU elections! God bless you :P

I'd be interested in legislative elections and Styria. And of course the FPÖ

No problem ;) I´ll create some Styria maps then when I have some time ...

Here are your Styria maps:

Where does the Communist Party hold seat in Styria?

They got most of their votes from the City of Graz (capital of Styria) and its suburb district (Graz-Umgebung) as well as the upper-styrian steel districts, such as Leoben, Bruck an der Mur, Knittelfeld (lots of unionized workers). There`s also a big university in Leoben, with lots of leftist students ...

Here´s the map of the Communists in the 2005 state elections:

()

Orange = Communist Party below 5%
Red = Communist Party between 5% and 10%
Brown = Communist Party won more than 10%

They got there highest share in the city of Graz with 14%, the uni-city of Leoben was ranked 5th with 9.7%.

A surprise: In Thal, the city where Arnold Schwarzenegger grew up, the Communists got 9.3% in 2005 and the city was the 9th best town that year for the Communists ;)

The overall result in Schwarzeneggers former hometown was:

2005:

SPÖ: 44.2%
ÖVP: 28.0%
Greens: 10.3%
KPÖ: 9.3%
FPÖ: 4.6%
BZÖ: 1.6%
Others: 2.0%

2000:

ÖVP: 40.0%
SPÖ: 38.5%
FPÖ: 10.1%
Greens: 8.2%
KPÖ: 1.1%
Others: 2.1%

So there was a swing of 16% to the Parties of Center-Left in Arnies hometown from 48% in 2000 to 64% in 2005 ... ;)

...and Feberaufstand traditions. :D

Is Branau-am-Inn in the Land of Salzburg? If so, what are its politics?

No, it´s in the state of Upper Austria. The mayor is Gerhard Skiba from the SPÖ.

Any chance for EU parliamentary election maps? Does Austria have constituencies for EU elections like in France or does it use something else?

I`ll probably update this in the next few days/weeks with the most recent state elections and 2008 federal elections.

A repost from last year:

Bigger images of both be on the gallery.

Very interesting how compared to the 2004 presidential elections, there was a big urban-rural divide in the 2016 elections. In the cities, lower-income districts who voted the centre-left Fischer were less strongly in favor of green party candidate Van der Bellen than the conservative high income districts who favored Ferrero-Waldner in 2004. In the countryside, both "Red" and "Black" districts favored right-wing Norbert Hofer, although the "Black" ones favored him more strongly.
