Article 124
 

(1) Unless provided otherwise by this federal law, the cost arising out of holding an election shall be borne by the communities; anyhow the federal government shall reimburse them 100 % of the cost of paper used for the election including the cost of printed forms, and one third of the general costs, in both cases only against due proof and only to the extent as they have not already been reimbursed in accordance with § 12 Voters' Records Act 1973.

(2) Eligible for reimbursement according to al. 1 are costs which were indispensable for holding the election. Not eligible for reimbursement are costs which would have arisen to the community authorities also in case no election had been held. The reimbursement of costs shall not be affected by a provincial or community election which may be held at the same time.

(3) The community authorities, with the exception of the City of Vienna, are entitled to claim such reimbursement of cost within 60 days after election day from the Governor of the Province who shall adopt the respective resolution in agreement with the respective provincial finance authority.

(4) No appeal may be lodged against this resolution.

(5) Claims of the City of Vienna for reimbursement of cost shall be lodged within the term indicated in al. 3 directly with the Federal Minister of the Interior who shall decide in agreement with the Federal Minister of Finance.
