The next Austrian legislative elections will be held in or before 2018. The leader of the strongest party in a formed coalition (if there is any) usually becomes Chancellor.
Electoral system
The 183 members of the National Council are elected by closed list proportional representation in nine multi-member constituencies based on the states (with varying in size from 7 to 36 seats) and 39 sub-constituencies. Seats are allocated using the Hare method at the sub-constituency level and the D'Hondt at the federal level, with an electoral threshold of 4% or one seat in one of the 39 sub-constituencies.
