Innsbruck Rural (National Council electoral district)

Innsbruck Rural is an electoral district in Tyrol, Austria, used for elections to the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament. It encompasses the Innsbruck-Land (Innsbruck Rural) district and a portion of the Schwaz district.

The electoral district is one of nine in Tyrol. The constituency system in Austria employs a combination of proportional representation and single-member districts. While votes are aggregated nationally for proportional allocation, the electoral districts determine which candidates from each party are directly elected to the National Council based on the district's vote share.

The boundaries of Innsbruck Rural, like other Austrian electoral districts, are subject to periodic review and adjustments to account for population shifts and maintain relative equality in voter representation. The specific communities included within the district can therefore change between elections.

During National Council elections, eligible voters residing within the Innsbruck Rural district cast their ballots for both a party list and a specific candidate on that list. The candidates receiving the highest number of direct votes within the district are typically allocated the seats allotted to that district based on the overall party performance.
