The 3rd Ostric regional election occurred on 7 August 1994. In a surprise result, the left-wing nationalist Ostric People's Party led by Robert Szucher defeated the governing Social Democratic Radical Party, which collapsed to four seats and the lowest percentage of votes in its history. A heavily divided Dorada led to the first seperatist government, and the first true minority administration.
Background
In the 1990 election, the SRPO-Liberal "social-liberal" coalition secured a term in office, which saw it struggle with a deep Euclean recession beginning in 1991 that hit Ostry particularly hard as the debt ceiling rose exponentially.
Austerity measures passed by the government to curb expenditures proved unpopular, and the SRPO saw itself trailing third in polls behind both the People's Party and the Ostric Liberal Party by mid-1993, with many calling for Chairman-Minister Remigiùsz Woss to resign before the election.
Electoral system
The electorate elects all fifteen members of the Dorada using single non-transferable vote in one island-wide multi-member constituency.

Reactions
The election saw a deeply divided Dorada, with unionist parties keeping a reduced majority of the legislature while the separatist People's Party topped the popular vote. An attempt to create a cross-aisle "Green-Red" coalition between the People's Party and the SRPO failed, primarily due to opposition from outgoing Minister-Chairman Woss, leading to the formation of an unstable People's Party minority government, with sporadic and unstable support from the Ostric Party.
