Economic reform is also central to their agenda, with a focus on ensuring social justice, reducing inequality, and enhancing the resilience of the European economy. Furthermore, the party is a strong proponent of digital rights and seeks to protect citizens' privacy while embracing the opportunities that digitalization offers for democracy and participation.

They also champion human rights, social equity, and inclusivity, striving for a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive regardless of their background.

Volt Austria's approach to politics is characterized by a commitment to transparency, citizen engagement, and a collaborative attitude, aiming to bridge the gap between voters and elected officials. By focusing on solutions that are grounded in research and best practices from across Europe, the party seeks to inspire a new way of doing politics that is both effective and responsive to the needs of all citizens.
