The competition for second place has intensified between the People’s Party (ÖVP) and the Social Democratic Party (SPÖ). The ÖVP currently holds 23% of the vote, while the SPÖ closely trails at 22%.

In the contest for fourth place, NEOS appears to be gaining an edge, now polling at 9.9%, compared to 8.9% for the Green Party.

Meanwhile, the Beer Party (Bierpartei) is projected to enter the National Council, holding steady at 5.2%. The Communist Party (KPÖ), however, remains below the 4% threshold required for parliamentary entry, polling at 3.1%.

Both the Beer Party and the Communist Party have garnered media attention recently, having completed the process of collecting the necessary signatures of support.
