About 6,36 million people are eligible to cast their ballots from the country's total population of 9 million.

Opinion polls indicate high approval ratings for Incumbent President Van der Bellen. A May 2022 survey showed that 63% of voters are satisfied or very satisfied with Van der Bellen's presidency. Another poll at the end of May had his approval rating at 59%, with 34% disapproving.

In case no candidate reaches a majority of valid votes cast, a runoff would be held on 6 November. (ILKHA)
