The first chart shows voting patterns by formal education level. Shows, as always, a strong negative correlation with votes for the far-right. 2nd chart: Age cross-referenced with gender does also reveal a clear pattern. Middle-aged men had the highest FPÖ vote share.

Much to look forward to in today’s Austrian election 🇦🇹: 1) Who comes first: FPÖ or ÖVP? 2) How bad will SPÖ do? 3) Will Greens really score ~10%? 3) Will KPÖ and/or Beer Party make threshold? #NRWahl24#Wahl2024

Just to clarify, for anyone wondering about the ideology of Austria's Freedom Party (FPÖ): FPÖ candidates attended a funeral where an SS song was sung. This happened just two days before the national elections, with key FPÖ politicians like Harald Stefan, Norbert Nemeth, and Martin Graf present.
