Vienna (OTS) – The municipal elections on March 10, 2024 made a mayoral runoff election necessary in 14 municipalities. 28 men and women are standing for election again in the city and state of Salzburg. The decision is awaited with particular excitement in the city of Salzburg, where either Bernhard Auinger from the SPÖ or Kay-Michael Dankl from the KPÖ PLUS – and thus a communist for the first time – will become the future mayor.
Duel in the state capital – “Lunchtime Special” on Radio Salzburg and can be heard on ORF SOUND
On March 21, 2024, Radio Salzburg will broadcast another special broadcast of “Mittagszeit Spezial” at 1 p.m., in which ORF editor-in-chief Gerd Schneider will meet the two top candidates for the mayoralty of the city of Salzburg – Bernhard Auinger and Kay-Michael Dankl – in the radio studio greets his guests.

ORF Salzburg will report on election day, Sunday, March 24th, on TV and radio with live broadcasts from Mirabell Palace in the state capital, where the decision will be followed with particularly great, including international, interest.
