Interior Minister Wolfgang Sobotka said today on Monday, 12 September that a re-keep running of Austria's presidential race planned for October has been postponed, after some postal voters griped of faulty seals on ballot papers. The deferment is a further humiliation for Austria, a well off and propelled Western vote based system and EU part, and for the legislature of Chancellor Christian Kern. The decision, which had been because of occurring on 2nd October, was called after issues with tallying postal votes additionally influenced the first vote in May.

The re-run may now happen on either 27 November or 4 December, Sobotka told a news gathering in Vienna, adding he was interested in extending the vote to nationals who had achieved the voting age of 16 since the spring.
In the first poll, Austria came surprisingly close to turning into the main western European nation to choose a far-right head of state since World War Two.
Norbert Hofer of the counter transient Freedom Party (FPO) lost that vote by short of what one rate point to autonomous Alexander Van der Bellen, a previous leader of the Green Party.

The Constitutional Court requested a re-pursue a test by the FPO, with judges refering to anomalies in the way some postal tallies were handled.
Judges found that procedural blunders occurred with just about 80,000 votes, implying that they conceivably could have been messed with.
Sobotka said a short time later he was "embarrassed" by the size of the "messiness" revealed. Newspaper daily papers compared Austria to a "banana republic".
Hofer has driven in late sentiment surveys. A far-right triumph would resound all through the European Union, where relocation driven by war and destitution in the Middle East and Africa has turned into a noteworthy political issue.
