Austrian Election Maps

[Cranberry]

Tried myself on three Austrian maps. Big thanks for Georg Ebner who provided the data!



1927 General Election:

Blue - "Einheitsliste" (Unity List) of CS (Christian Socials) and Großdeutsche (Great-Germans)
Red - SDAP (Social Democratic Labour Party)
Green - Landbund (Country Union)



1930 General Election:

Blue - Christlichsoziale Partei (Christian Social Party) CS
Red - Sozialdemokratische Arbeiterpartei (Social Democratic Labor Party) SDAP
Yellow - Großdeutsche Volkspartei (Great-German People's Party) GdP

After the last two democratic election in the First Republic (before the Austro-fascist regime and later the Nazi regime), here is one from the Second Republic, a comparison of the SPÖ vote in the two presidential elections of 1951 and 2004, illustrating the shifts that major center-left party has seen over the course of fifty years.



Blue - Decrease of SPÖ-share of the vote (0-5%,5-10%,10-15%,15%+)
Red - Increase of SPÖ-share of the vote (0-5%,5-10%,10-15%,15%+)

All maps are by district.

Cool.

Where did you get the 1927/30 maps with historical district boundaries ?

I took your photo you once posted from your Historischen Weltatlas, copy-pasted it into paint, followed the district lines with black, and then played around a little bit with contrast/brightness in paint.net, so I received a blank map I could work with. It was a very sh**tty work, but I managed to do it in the end
I could post the blank map if you want to, so you can play around with it a bit?

[Cranberry]

Homely, that map is just awesome!

Georg Ebner, yours are equally so. It indeed is shocking to see my so ÖVP-true landsmen voting for the FPÖ that much... My municipality did too - but based on your district map, I could claim it was the Unterländer's fault

[Cranberry]

^ Good work!

Hahaha, Tirol

[Cranberry]

Has to do with Brenner pass, Tyrol is normally least FPÖ-friendly state.

I know, I live there.

Four Tirol muncipality maps, each by party, from the 2014 EP-Elections:






I chose to make the darkest shade of ÖVP votes 70%+, but there were municipalities that voted 90%+ ÖVP.. In 2014..

(See Example Hinterhornbach:
ÖVP - 38 - 90.5%
NEOS - 2 - 4.8%
FPÖ - 1 - 2.4%
SPÖ - 1 - 2.4%

So I guess Sankt Veit an der Glan and Feldkirchen are pretty horrible places to live in if you're an immigrant. Or anything like a decent person, really.

Don't know. You'd have to ask the immigrants how they feel about living there.

Not that there are many of them: In the biggest cities in these 2 districts, only 5% of the population are foreigners.

But the landscape there is nice and it's not far away from the capital Klagenfurt.

It is Carinthia though, which makes it horrible by default.

You have to remember also that St. Veit is home to this (I doubt anyone but Tender and Georg Ebner will get that one):

Great job, Schorsch!
