This is a list of members of the 26th National Council (German : Nationalrat) of Austria, the lower house of the bicameral legislature. The 26th National Council was elected in the 15 October 2017 legislative election, and was constituted in its first session on 9 November 2017. Its term ended on 22 October 2019.
Originally, the National Council comprised 62 members of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP), 52 members of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), 51 members of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ), 10 members of NEOS – The New Austria and Liberal Forum (NEOS), and 8 members of the Peter Pilz List (named JETZT from November 2018). By the dissolution of the National Council, there were four non-attached members: Martha Bißmann (former PILZ, expelled), Efgani Dönmez (former ÖVP, expelled), David Lasar (former FPÖ, resigned), and Alma Zadić (former JETZT, expelled). [1]
The President of the National Council was initially Elisabeth Köstinger (ÖVP). She resigned on 17 December 2017 in anticipation of being appointed to Cabinet Kurz I; Third President Norbert Hofer (FPÖ) resigned for the same reason on 18 December. On 20 December, Wolfgang Sobotka was elected to replace Köstinger, and Anneliese Kitzmüller to replace Hofer. They served until the National Council's dissolution. The Second President was Doris Bures (SPÖ), who served for the entirety of the legislative term. [2]

A legislative snap election for the National Council in Austria was held on 28 September 2008. The previous election was held on 1 October 2006. The election was caused by the withdrawal of Austrian People's Party leader Wilhelm Molterer from the governing grand coalition on 7 July 2008. Due to dissatisfaction with the grand coalition and the two main parties, it was widely expected to be a realigning election, with gains for the opposition and up to seven parties expected to be in the National Council after the election. The losses for the government parties resulted in strong gains for the far right, while neither the Liberal Forum nor the Citizens' Forum Austria gained as much as 2% of the vote, defying earlier expectations. The result of the election was seen as strong for the far-right and in support of Eurosceptics.
Legislative elections were held in Austria on 15 October 2017 to elect the 26th National Council, the lower house of Austria's bicameral parliament.
