The Austrian electoral law reform 2007: An Experiment and inspiration?
Uhlich, Tereza ; Kunštát, Miroslav (advisor) ; Dimitrov, Michal (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with the Austrian electoral reform of 2007, which included the lowering of the voting age from 18 to 16 years. Lowering the voting age has resonated in Austrian society since the 1990s. As a rule, it was promoted by the left-wing parties, while the right-wing parties opposed it. Gradually, in a total of five federal states, it was possible to lower the age limit at the municipal or state level. At the federal level, the situation was different. The implementation was possible due to a political calculation between the governing parties, when the SPÖ's proposal to lower the voting age was exchanged for that of the ÖVP, which advocated the introduction of postal voting options for all Austrians. The proposal was finally approved by all political parties in the parliament. Although the lowering of the voting age was approved without much attention, it caused the creation of many projects, thanks to which it was possible to maintain the interest of young people in politics.
