East Tyrol (German:Osttirol), also known asElectoral District 7E (German:Wahlkreis 7E), is one of the 39multi-member regionalelectoral districts of theNational Council, thelower house of theAustrian Parliament, the nationallegislature ofAustria. The electoral district was created in 1992 when electoral regulations were amended to add regional electoral districts to the existing state-wide electoral districts and came into being at thefollowing legislative election in 1994. It is conterminous with thedistrict ofLienz in thestate ofTyrol. The electoral district currently elects one of the 183 members of the National Council using theopenparty-list proportional representationelectoral system. At the2019 legislative election the constituency had 39,536 registered electors.
East Tyrol was one 43 regional electoral districts (regionalwahlkreise) established by the "National Council Electoral Regulations 1992" (Nationalrats-Wahlordnung1992) passed by theNational Council in 1992.[3] It was conterminous with thedistrict ofLienz in thestate ofTyrol.[4] The district was initially allocated one seat in May 1993.[5]
East Tyrol currently elects one of the 183 members of the National Council using theopenparty-list proportional representationelectoral system.[6][7][8] The allocation of seats is carried out in three stages.[9] In the first stage, seats are allocated to parties (lists) at the regional level using a state-wideHare quota (wahlzahl) (valid votes in the state divided by the number of seats in the state).[10][11] In the second stage, seats are allocated to parties at the state/provincial level using the state-wide Hare quota (any seats won by the party at the regional stage are subtracted from the party's state seats).[10][11] In the third and final stage, seats are allocated to parties at the federal/national level using theD'Hondt method (any seats won by the party at the regional and state stages are subtracted from the party's federal seats).[10][11] Only parties that reach the 4% nationalthreshold, or have won a seat at the regional stage, compete for seats at the state and federal stages.[10][11]
Electors may cast one preferential vote for individual candidates at the regional, state and federal levels.[11] Split-ticket voting (panachage), or voting for more than one candidate at each level, is not permitted and will result in the ballot paper beinginvalidated.[11][12] At the regional level, candidates must receive preferential votes amounting to at least 14% of the valid votes cast for their party to over-ride the order of theparty list (10% and 7% respectively for the state and federal levels).[12] Prior to April 2013 electors could not cast preferential votes at the federal level and the thresholds candidates needed to over-ride the party list order were higher at the regional level (half the Hare quota or1⁄6 of the party votes) and state level (Hare quota).[11][13][14]
