  • Austria's Presidential Election Is Set to Be Another Vote Dominated by The
    Austria’s presidential election is set to be another vote dominated by the issue of immigration blogs.lse.ac.uk/europpblog/2016/03/01/austrias-presidential-election-is-set-to-be-another-vote-dominated-by-the-issue-of-immigration/ 3/1/2016 Austria will hold a presidential election on 24 April, with a run off scheduled for 22 May if no candidate manages to win an absolute majority in the first vote. Emmanuel Sigalas states that while the post itself is largely ceremonial, the election will be a key test of the relative standing of each of the main parties. He writes that the contest is likely to be dominated by the issue of the migration crisis and the creeping influence of the Freedom Party of Austria’s (FPÖ) anti-immigration platform over the Austrian government. On 24 April, young (the voting age is 16) and old Austrians alike will cast their ballot, in person or by post, for the new President of the Republic. She, or most likely he, will replace the incumbent President Heinz Fischer, who will have served two terms in office (i.e. twelve years). By more or less general accord, Fischer has been regarded as a good President. He has fulfilled his predominantly symbolic duties (embodying and promoting national unity and interests) well. His name has not been associated with any scandals, and even if he is not the most charismatic political leader in the country’s history, he has undoubtedly proved to be simpatico. Of course, when Fischer was first elected in 2004 the context was completely different.

  • The 2016 Austrian Presidential Election: a Tale of Three Divides
    The 2016 Austrian Presidential Election: A Tale of Three Divides Mario Gavenda Resul Umit* July 18, 2016 A preprint of the article published in Regional & Federal Studies, 26(3), 419–432. Abstract The 2016 Austrian presidential election was remarkably different than the previous ones in the history of the country characterized by its stable political system. Not only did it open the role of president in Austria to debate, but it also sidelined the two political parties that had dominated Austrian politics since World War II. Alexander Van der Bellen won the election with one of the closest margins in recent history. This article argues that the election divided the country in more than one way. Besides the near 50–50 divide between the candidates, the results show that it generated important dynamics in territorial politics as well, notably in the states and cities of Austria. These results point towards a party system transformation in Austrian politics. Keywords Presidential election; Austria; urban-rural divide; right-wing populism; party system transformation * Corresponding author. 1 Introduction The election of the 12th Federal President of Austria was nothing like the previous ones. First, it put the country’s characteristically stable political system under an unprecedented challenge. From the very beginning, the campaign opened the traditionally ceremonial role of Austrian presidency to debate, with threats of using the constitutional right to dissolve the parliament. After the first round of the election, it became clear that the two parties that created this stability, who had shared the presidential post between themselves since 1945, were out of the race.
