This year, 17.4% of voters cast an early ballot or requested mail voting. The last polls put the SPÖ with a comfortable lead, FPÖ in second place and ÖVP on the verge of crashing to 4th place, behind the Team Carinthia (TK), a local party. The last available poll:

Market poll: (compared with the 2018 results)

42% SPÖ (-6)
26% FPÖ (+3)
12% TK (+6)
10% ÖVP (-5)
  4% Grüne (+1)
  4% NEOS (+2)
  2% Others (-1)

Looks like ÖVP is outperforming and SPÖ underperforming

Yep, but compared with the first projections from an hour ago, SPÖ is improving a bit and ÖVP going down a bit. However, compared with 2018, surprising surge for ÖVP and a bigger than expected fall for the SPÖ. FPÖ is basically at the same point.

What the actual f**k?

Jesus Christ!! This is beyond embarrassing and could probably tarnish SPÖ's reputation. Like Babeuf said, for a major party this is... well, without words or comments.
