Parliamentary elections were held in Austria on 24 April 1927.[1] The result was a victory for the Unity List (Einheitsliste), an alliance of the Christian Social Party and the Greater German People's Party, which won 85 of the 165 seats.[2] However this brief coalition failed to result in any larger proportion of the votes than when the CSP ran alone, losing votes to the Landbund.[3] Voter turnout was 89.3%.[4]
