Upper Austrian Election 2015

Hey guys,
yesterday, at the 27 of September the Upper Austrian Election took place. We also had the election of the mayor and the government in Perg but I wasn't allowed to vote because in Austrian you are only allowed to vote if you are older than 16 year. At the election of the government in Perg 4 different parties wanted us to vote them:

 ▶ the Peoples Party,
 ▶ the Social Democrates,
 ▶ the Freedom Party,
 ▶ and the Greens.

In Perg 6500 people were allowed to vote and 80 % of them participated at the election.
The Peoples Party came in first with 49.8 % so this is not the majority. They got 17 seats out of 37 in the government in Perg. The Freedom Party finished second. They got 21 % of the votes so now they have 8 seats.
19 % of the people voted for the Social Democrates so they have one seat less than the Freedom Party in the government in Perg.
The party which got the least votes are the Greens.  10 % voted for them. So now they have 3 seats in the government.
