Presidential elections were held in Austria on 9 October 2022.[1] Incumbent Alexander Van der Bellen from the Greens was eligible for one more term and ran for re-election.[2] About 6.36 million voting-age citizens were eligible to vote.
Final results showed that Van der Bellen was re-elected in the first round with 57% of the vote. Van der Bellen won in all of the 116 administrative districts of Austria. Carinthia was the only state in which he finished below 50% of the vote. Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) candidate Walter Rosenkranz placed second with 18% of the votes, far short of what his party colleague Norbert Hofer received in 2016. Three other right-wing candidates (Tassilo Wallentin, Gerald Grosz and Michael Brunner) tapped into the FPÖ voter pool and kept Rosenkranz below 20%. In third place - the best independent candidate without the backing of a parliamentary party - was artist, entrepreneur and medical doctor Dominik Wlazny ("Marco Pogo") from the Beer Party with 8% of the votes. In Vienna, Wlazny finished second behind Van der Bellen and ahead of Rosenkranz.[3][4]
Had no candidate received a majority of valid votes cast, a runoff would have been held on 6 November.[5]
