The Social Austria of the Future (German: Soziales Österreich der Zukunft; SÖZ, Turkish for "promise") is a small Austrian party that ran for the first time in the 2020 Viennese state and municipal elections.

[7][8] In the run-up to the state and municipal council elections, SÖZ was able to collect enough signatures to be allowed to run for candidates in all 18 constituencies.

[1] Contrary to the original plan to set up Hakan Gördü as the sole top candidate for the state elections, the former member of the National Council Martha Bissmann (non-party, previously Liste Pilz) could be won for a dual leadership.

The party promised to stand in the municipal council election in Bissmann's hometown of Graz, which was originally planned to be held in 2022.

[17] According to analysis published by the OGM Institute, 20% of voters of Turkish immigrant background voted for SÖZ, making it the second-most popular party among this demographic.
