The 2027 Tyrolean state election is scheduled to be held in 2027 to elect the members of the Landtag of Tyrol. The election will determine the composition of the 36-seat legislature and the formation of the next state government.

The election follows the 2022 state election, in which the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) remained the largest party despite recording its worst result in the state's history. Following the election, the ÖVP formed a coalition government with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), led by ÖVP Governor Anton Mattle.[1]

Background

The previous election was held on 25 September 2022. The ÖVP won 34.7% of the vote and remained the largest party, while the FPÖ overtook the SPÖ as the second-largest party in terms of vote share. The incumbent ÖVP–Green coalition lost its parliamentary majority, leading to the formation of an ÖVP–SPÖ coalition government under Governor Anton Mattle.

Electoral system

The 36 seats of the Landtag of Tyrol are elected via open-list proportional representation in a two-step process. The seats are distributed among nine multi-member constituencies corresponding to the districts of Tyrol. To gain representation in the Landtag, parties must either win at least one seat directly in a constituency or surpass the 5% statewide electoral threshold.

Seats are allocated within constituencies using the Hare quota, while any remaining seats are distributed at the state level using the D'Hondt method to ensure overall proportionality between a party's share of the vote and its share of seats.
