European elections Determination of the election result

You can find out how the result of a European election is determined here.

When the election is over, the electoral and postal ballot committees determine for their respective polling and postal voting districts how many votes the respective list election proposal has received. Subsequently, the district election or city election committees determine how many votes within the respective district or the district-free city the respective list nominations have received. These election committees may also correct the findings of the electoral committees and decide differently on the validity of votes cast. As the next instance, the Land Electoral Committee determines the votes for the nominations on a country-by-Land basis. He may mathematically correct the results of the election boards as well as district and city election committees. Finally, the Federal Electoral Committee determines the votes cast at federal level. In addition, it determines the number of seats for the list nominations and determines the elected candidates. The Federal Electoral Committee may mathematically correct the results of the Land electoral committees.

• The election and postal ballot boards determine the result in the polling and postal voting districts, prepare minutes and hand them over to the municipal authority.
• The municipal authority of a municipality belonging to the district prepares a compilation of the results of all polling and postal voting districts in the municipal area and hands them over to the district returning officer.
• The district and city election committees determine the result in their area of responsibility (district or district-free city) and transmit it to the Land returning officer.
