The 2013 Tyrolean state election was held on 28 April 2013 to elect the members of the Landtag of Tyrol.

The election was contested by a large number of parties and saw a significant shift in support between them. The governing Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), while suffering relatively small losses, each suffered their worst results in history. The Greens finished in third place just 1.1 percentage points behind the SPÖ, while the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) suffered a downswing. The most notable loss of the election was the Fritz Dinkhauser List, which collapsed from a second-placed 18% in 2008 to just 5.6% in this election, making it the smallest party in the Landtag. Three new parties were considered contenders to enter the Landtag, though only one succeeded, with Forward Tyrol winning 9.5% and four seats. The Citizens' Club Tyrol, a splinter from the Fritz party, narrowly failed to win seats, as did Team Stronach.[1]

Despite its relatively poor result, the ÖVP under Governor Günther Platter remained by far the largest party. He subsequently formed a coalition with the Greens.[2]

## Background

[edit]

In the 2008 election, the ÖVP lost its majority for the first time in history, winning 40.5% of votes cast (a loss of 9.4pp). This was coupled with losses for the SPÖ and Greens, while the new Fritz Dinkhauser List soared to second place with 18.4% of votes. The ÖVP subsequently formed a coalition with the SPÖ.

## Electoral system

[edit]

The 36 seats of the Landtag of Tyrol are elected via open list proportional representation in a two-step process. The seats are distributed between nine multi-member constituencies, corresponding to the districts of Tyrol. For parties to receive any representation in the Landtag, they must either win at least one seat in a constituency directly, or clear a 5 percent state-wide electoral threshold. Seats are distributed in constituencies according to the Hare quota, with any remaining seats allocated using the D'Hondt method at the state level, to ensure overall proportionality between a party's vote share and its share of seats.
