2018 Carinthian state election


The Carinthian state election of 2018 was held in the Austrian state of Carinthia on 5 March 2018. The SPÖ, the party of the incumbent governor Peter Kaiser, narrowly missed the 19 seats needed for an absolute majority, FPK and ÖVP made gains, while Team Carinthia, the rebranded version of the now defunct Stronach Party, lost almost half of their vote compared to the last election and the Greens failed to pass the electoral threshold. After explanatory talks with FPÖ, ÖVP and Team Carinthia, the SPÖ decided to form a coalition government with the conservative ÖVP.
