Governor before election

Elected Governor

Anton Mattle
ÖVP

The 2022 Tyrolean state election was held on 25 September 2022 to elect the members of the Landtag of Tyrol. Incumbent Governor Günther Platter of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) retired at the election; Anton Mattle was the party's lead candidate.

The ÖVP suffered its worst-ever result in the state, winning less than 35% of votes, but remained well ahead of the other parties and performed substantially better than most opinion polling had predicted. The Greens also recorded a decline, while all opposition parties grew in support. The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) overtook the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ) as the second-largest party for the first time, though they remained tied on seven seats each. Citizens' Forum Tyrol improved to 10%, though this was below expectations. NEOS retained its two seats with a small positive swing. Overall, the ÖVP lost three seats and the Greens one, leaving the incumbent coalition without a majority. ÖVP leader Anton Mattle ruled out a coalition with the FPÖ. All parties indicated they were open to government negotiations.[1][2] Ultimately, ÖVP and SPÖ formed a coalition government.[3]
