Lower Austria East (German: Niederösterreich Ost), also known as Electoral District 3G (German: Wahlkreis 3G), is one of the 39 multi-member regional electoral districts of the National Council, the lower house of the Austrian Parliament, the national legislature of Austria. The electoral district was established in 2016 from parts of Lower Austria South East and Weinviertel following the re-organisation of the regional electoral districts in Lower Austria to reflect the new administrative district structure and came into being at the following legislative election in 2017. It consists of the districts of Bruck an der Leitha and Gänserndorf in the state of Lower Austria. The electoral district currently elects four of the 183 members of the National Council using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system. At the 2019 legislative election the constituency had 151,346 registered electors.
