Austria will hold a National Assembly election on the 29th. Initial estimates released by the Austrian media that night showed that the far-right political party, the Austrian Liberal Party, took the lead in the election. The Austrian News Agency and the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation made initial estimates based on some vote count data after the vote ended. According to initial estimates, the Austrian Liberal Party won 29.1% of the vote, the People's Party led by current Prime Minister Nehammer ranked second, with 26.2% of the vote; the traditional Social Democratic Party won 20.4% of the vote; the New Austrian Party won 8.8% of the vote; and the Green Party, which currently co-governs with the People's Party, received 8.6% of the vote. Voting for that day's election began at 6:00 local time and ended at 17:00 local time. About 6.35 million Austrian voters voted to decide where the 183 seats in the National Assembly would belong. It is expected that the preliminary vote count results will be announced that evening, and the final official vote count results will be announced on October 3. The political parties that enter parliament after the election will negotiate to form a new Austrian federal government.
