In the 1996 City Council election, the [[Social Democratic Party of Austria|SPÖ]] lost its overall majority in the 100-seat chamber, winning 43 seats and 39.15% of the vote. The SPÖ had previously held an outright majority in every free municipal election since 1919. In the same election, the [[Freedom Party of Austria]] (FPÖ) won 29 seats, an increase from 21 in 1991, and surpassed the [[Austrian People's Party|ÖVP]], who finished in third place for the second consecutive election. From 1996 to 2001, the SPÖ governed Vienna in a [[Coalition government|coalition]] with the ÖVP.

In [[2001 Viennese state election|2001]], the SPÖ regained their overall majority with 52 seats and 46.91% of the vote. In [[2005 Viennese state election|2005]], this majority increased further to 55 seats (49.09%). However, in the [[2010 Viennese state election|2010 elections]], the SPÖ lost their overall majority again and subsequently formed a coalition with the [[The Greens (Austria)|Green Party]] – the first SPÖ/Green coalition in Austria. This coalition remained in place following the [[2015 Viennese state election|2015 election]].

After the [[2020 Viennese state election|2020 election]], the SPÖ formed a coalition with [[NEOS (Austria)|NEOS – The New Austria and Liberal Forum]]. The next elections are scheduled to take place on [[2025 Viennese state election|27 April 2025]].
