Early parliamentary elections were held in Austria on 24 November 2002,[1] after internal divisions in the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) culminating in the Knittelfeld Putsch led to the resignation of several leading FPÖ members. The Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) emerged as the largest party, winning 79 of the 183 seats, the first time it had been the largest party in the National Council since 1966.[2] It continued its coalition government with the FPÖ, which lost almost two-thirds of its seats.[3] Voter turnout was 84%.[4]
