Austrian Elections & Politics 5.0 (Burgenland state election - January 26)

[Swedish Rainbow Capitalist Cheese]

The current satellite picture shows nasty clouds in the South (FPÖ strongholds), but sunny everywhere else (especially in the ÖVP areas) ...

A sign from above.

The consensus from reports so far is that this will be another 80% turnout election.

The next 3-4 hours will be the busiest ...

[Tender Branson]

Turnout reports remain very high and it might pass the 80% from 2017, maybe as high as 82-85%.

In my family for example, everyone has voted ...

[Tender Branson]

Meanwhile, President Van der Bellen + all major candidates have voted:



Kurz:



Hofer:



Kickl:



Meinl-Reisinger:

Could high turnout provide any surprises? Does it benefit anyone in particular?

A) the turnout reports are only based on isolated Twitter reports from poll workers and the good weather, which drives people outside. It could still be just 75%, or 80% or 85%. In 2017, it was 80%. Official turnout reports by the media were prohibited by the 2016 Supreme Court ruling.

B) I have no clue who high turnout would benefit. Probably everyone to some degree, because it means everyone was able to mobilize their voters and it means the results could be close to the polls ... But that is just a guess. There could still be surprises.

Greens and NEOS with younger (relative) bases can benefit, but like tender said, it's not going to be as shocking a surge as some other countries operating from lower turnout baselines.

I just saw a tweet online, where a guy posted the results of a town in Burgenland (and then deleted it again after 5 minutes, because he could be sentenced for posting results early).

If those results are true, we could see some surprises ... (the town only has 1.000 eligible voters though).

I realize it might be illegal for you to post the numbers in this thread, but would it be illegal for you to send them to me in a PM?

Then let me ask you another question, what sort of fruits would the people of a small town in Burgenland prefer, Black Berries, Red Apples, Blue Berries, Limes, Pink Cherries, or do they not care about the sort of fruit as long as they get it NOW?

Historically they're a SPÖ strong-hold.
