Burgenland North (National Council electoral district)

Burgenland North is one of nine National Council electoral districts in Austria. It is located in the state of Burgenland and covers the northern portion of the state.

The electoral district encompasses the districts of Neusiedl am See, Eisenstadt-Umgebung, and Mattersburg. The boundaries are defined by Austrian electoral law and are subject to periodic review and potential adjustment to reflect population changes.

In elections to the National Council, Austria's lower house of parliament, Burgenland North elects a specific number of representatives based on the district's population. The allocation of seats is determined proportionally based on the nationwide results of the participating political parties. The specific number of seats allocated to Burgenland North can vary from election to election.

The voting system used is proportional representation, meaning that parties receive seats in proportion to the votes they receive. Voters typically cast ballots for a political party, and the candidates elected from that party are determined by their placement on the party's list and the number of preference votes they receive.

The political landscape of Burgenland North has historically been dominated by the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), but other parties such as the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) and the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) also maintain significant support in the region and compete for representation in the National Council. The electoral results reflect the broader political trends within the state of Burgenland and Austria as a whole.
