In April 2010, Fischer was [[2010 Austrian presidential election|re-elected president of Austria]], winning a second six-year term in office with almost 79% of the votes. The [[voter turnout]] of merely 53.6% was a record low.<ref name="Austria president sweeps to victory">{{cite web|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2010/04/2010425175334560120.html|title=Austria president sweeps to victory|date=25 April 2010|access-date=25 April 2010|publisher=[[Al Jazeera Arabic|Al Jazeera]]}}</ref> Around a third of those eligible to vote voted for Fischer, leading the conservative daily ''[[Die Presse]]'' to describe the election as an "absolute majority for non-voters".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=357759&version=1&template_id=39&parent_id=21 |title= Gulf Times- Qatar's top-selling English daily newspaper - Homepage|website=www.gulf-times.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100602075455/http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=357759&version=1&template_id=39&parent_id=21 |archive-date=2 June 2010}}</ref> The reasons behind the low turnout may have been that pollsters had predicted a safe victory for Fischer (past Austrian presidents running for a second term had always won) and that the other large party, [[Austrian People's Party|ÖVP]], had not nominated a candidate of their own, and had not endorsed any of the three candidates. Prominent ÖVP members, unofficially but in public, even suggested to cast a blank vote, which 7% of the voters did.
