The seats are shared out on the basis of the percentage of the votes obtained by each list. Because of the limited number of seats, the lists were identical for the whole of Austria; there were no regional lists. The threshold required to win a seat was 4%. Candidates who win 7% of the total 'preference votes' obtained by their party would win one of the seats accorded to the party, irrespective of their position on the list. The lists of candidates had to be signed by three members of the national parliament, or by one Member of the European Parliament, or by 2600 voters. The minimum voting age was 18. European citizens residing in Austria were entitled to vote provided that they did not vote in their country of origin in the June 1994 European elections. 7205 European citizens registered and

states out of nine. The SPÖ and the FPÖ each won two states; in particular, the SPÖ prevailed in the capital city-state of Vienna. The ÖVP recorded their best results in Vorarlberg, the country's westernmost and second-smallest atate. Simultaneously, the SPÖ performed the worst there, at just 13.7%. Neither party reached at least 40% in any state: the SPÖ's 38.1% in Burgenland was the best performance for any party in any state. </p> <table class="wikitable sortable"
