Thermenregion, also known as Electoral District 3F (de|Wahlkreis 3F), is one of the 39 multi-member regional electoral districts of the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament, the national legislature of Austria. The electoral district was established in 2016 from parts of Greater Vienna and Lower Austria South East following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Lower Austria to reflect the new administrative district structure and came into being at the following legislative election in 2017. It consists of the districts of Baden and Mödling in the state of Lower Austria. The electoral district currently elects six of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 legislative election the constituency had 197,030 registered electors.

History

Thermenregion was established in 2016 from parts of Greater Vienna and Lower Austria South East following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Lower Austria to reflect the new administrative district structure.[4] It consisted of the districts of Baden and Mödling in the state of Lower Austria.[5] The district was initially allocated five seats in February 2017.[6] Electoral regulations require the allocation of seats amongst the electoral districts to be recalculated following each national census and in June 2023 the number of seats allocated to Thermenregion was increased to six based on the population as at the 2021 national census.[7]

Electoral system

Thermenregion currently elects six of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system.[8] [9] [10] The allocation of seats is carried out in three stages.[11] In the first stage, seats are allocated to parties (lists) at the regional level using a state-wide Hare quota (German: wahlzahl) (valid votes in the state divided by the number of seats in the state).[12] [13] In the second stage, seats are allocated to parties at the state/provincial level using the state-wide Hare quota (any seats won by the party at the regional stage are subtracted from the party's state seats).[12] [13] In the third and final stage, seats are allocated to parties at the federal/national level using the D'Hondt method (any seats won by the party at the regional and state stages are subtracted from the party's federal seats).[12] [13] Only parties that reach the 4% national threshold, or have won a seat at the regional stage, compete for seats at the state and federal stages.[12] [13]

Electors may cast one preferential vote for individual candidates at the regional, state and federal levels.[13] Split-ticket voting (panachage), or voting for more than one candidate at each level, is not permitted and will result in the ballot paper being invalidated.[13] [14] At the regional level, candidates must receive preferential votes amounting to at least 14% of the valid votes cast for their party to over-ride the order of the party list (10% and 7% respectively for the state and federal levels).[14]
