The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) suffered substantial losses, and was deprived of its majority in the Landtag.

The beneficiaries of the ÖVP's defeat were The Greens, who achieved a breakthrough result of 17.1%, and NEOS – The New Austria, which debuted at 6.9%.

The 36 seats of the Landtag of Vorarlberg are elected via open list proportional representation in a two-step process.

For parties to receive any representation in the Landtag, they must either win at least one seat in a constituency directly, or clear a 5 percent state-wide electoral threshold.
