[HIGHLIGHTS] Mayoral election in Innsbruck: Will the FPÖ win the race for town hall?

A new mayor will be elected in Innsbruck on Sunday. The FPÖ wants to throw the Greens out of the town hall.

Polling stations open on Sunday morning at 7:30 a.m. The two candidates with the most votes will then advance to the mayoral runoff election, which will be held two weeks later. The communists are also running in the election in InNSbruck, but are considered big unknowns there. The election can also be seen as a further test of mood for the National Council election coming up in the fall. The communist KPÖ+ was recently able to achieve a strong result in the mayoral election in Salzburg. The SPÖ candidate Elisabeth Mayr is only given outsider chances by political observers.. Political observers see a good chance for FP� Ör candidate Lassenberger to make it to the runoff election. The Greens want to prevent the duel between the Greens and FP�Ö. The conservative forces can also expect a good result - but the competition is fierce.
