context_page_description: The 2019 Styrian state election was held on 24 November 2019 to elect the members of the Landtag of Styria.
  The conservative Austrian People's Party was the clear winner of the election, winning 36.0% on a swing of 7.6 percentage points. This came to the detriment of the former largest party, the centre-left Social Democratic Party of Austria, which lost six points and fell to second place. The Freedom Party of Austria fell by nine points. The Greens made a strong showing, winning 12% and doubling their representation to six seats. The Communist Party of Austria achieved their best result since re-entering the Landtag in 2005 with 6.0%. NEOS – The New Austria doubled its voteshare from the 2015 election, winning 5.4%, and entered the Landtag with two seats.
  The outgoing government, a coalition of the SPÖ and ÖVP, was unusual in that it was headed by a member of the smaller party – Hermann Schützenhöfer of the ÖVP. With his party's success in the election, he was re-elected Governor by the Landtag at the head of a renewed ÖVP–SPÖ coalition.
