About this election
The political system
Austria elects its MEPs in a single national constituency by proportional representation, with a 4% threshold and preferential voting. For the 2024–29 term Austria's allocation rose to 20 seats. As a single-district contest, the European election serves as a nationwide popularity test, and in 2024 it was watched closely as the first major electoral gauge before the autumn legislative election, with the FPÖ leading in the polls.
