An Italian man has his main residence in Graz and is not an Austrian citizen. In which elections may he vote?
In the exam (German)
Ein Italiener hat seinen Hauptwohnsitz in Graz und ist nicht österreichischer Staatsbürger. An welchen Wahlen darf er teilnehmen?
- aIn the municipal council election in GrazAn der Gemeinderatswahl in GrazCorrect answer
- bIn the National Council electionAn der Nationalratswahl
- cIn the Styrian state parliament electionAn der Landtagswahl in der Steiermark
- dIn the European Parliament election in Austria, if he registers on the electoral roll for itAn der Wahl zum Europäischen Parlament in Österreich, wenn er sich dafür in das Wählerverzeichnis eintragen lässtCorrect answer
Why?
EU citizens may vote where they live in the European election and in municipal council elections (Gemeinderatswahl). National Council elections (Nationalratswahl) and state parliament elections (Landtagswahl) are reserved for Austrian citizens. In Vienna the municipal council is also the state parliament, so EU citizens there vote only for the district council (Bezirksvertretung) – this does not apply in Graz.
Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in German, as shown above.

Our own practice questions on the content of the official learning material “Mein Österreich” and the federal states’ learning materials. They are not the real exam questions – those are not published – and we have not copied wording from the materials. Every question was answered a second time, independently, and checked against public sources. The English translation and the explanations were made with AI; in the exam the questions are asked in German. Not an official service: no connection with the Federal Ministry of the Interior or the offices of the state governments.
