There were also many late deciders in this National Council election – and 12% voted tactically, for example to prevent Herbert Kickl from becoming chancellor.
It was an election day of superlatives – but in the end a lot of things went awry, as the election day survey by the Lazarsfeld Society for oe24 (2,159 respondents from September 28th – 29th) shows. When asked “When did you decide?” 64% answered that they were regular voters or had decided in the last 6 to 2 months before the election. But: 11% only made their decision last week and another 7% only made their decision on election day.

So far. So expected. But: 12% voted against a party for tactical reasons, for example to prevent Herbert Kickl from becoming Chancellor – in the case of the ÖVP the figure is particularly high at 16%, as Lazarsfeld President Werner Beutelmeyer analyses.
