The 2015 Burgenland state election was held on 31 May 2015 to elect the members of the 21st Landtag of Burgenland.[1]
The two major parties, the governing Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) and Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), both lost votes.[2] The three minor parties made gains and each doubled their representation in the Landtag.[3]
With the SPÖ falling substantially short of a majority, they required a coalition partner to govern.[4] They subsequently formed a coalition with the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), violating the party's federal directive not to work with FPÖ in government. The decision was subject to backlash and protests, but the coalition took office regardless.[5][6]
