When will the results of the 2020 local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia be known?
Immediately after
the polls closed
in North Rhine-Westphalia is the
counting
of election results started - so on September 13, 2020
from 18:00
.
This does not only apply to the counting of the ballots - postal votes are also only counted after the deadline.

results
of mayor and district
elections are usually known on election evening

The specific electoral system in North Rhine-Westphalia will ensure that, as expected, the counting proceeds relatively quickly, even in local parliaments.

corona pandemic
, however, it may well happen that imponderables take place on election evening.
In the early stages of the worldwide rampant Covid-19 wave *, this was the case in Bavaria: In the local elections in March, the counts were partially slowed down by corona protective measures.
Similar delays could also lead to delays in the results of the 2020 local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia.
