Interim results from Dortmund - concrete figures even without extrapolation
Update from September 13, 5.43 p.m.:
In the local elections, the numbers look a little different than in other elections.
There is no real extrapolation.
Instead, the partial results of the already counted polling stations are published in the cities, which are not necessarily meaningful for the entire city.

Update from September 13, 4:47 p.m.:
Dortmund is one of the cities participating in an additional election.
The Ruhr Parliament is also elected here, but of course local elections in the city have priority in the counting.

Local elections in NRW: In Dortmund there are three elections today
Dortmund - In the
2020 local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia
,
Dortmund
are faced with several decisions.
All citizens entitled to vote vote with
three ballot papers
on Dortmund's city policy.
Not only the
mayor
is newly elected, but also the
city council
and the
district
councils
.
While the city council decides on matters relating to all of Dortmund, the twelve district representatives are each responsible for the smallest urban areas, the
city districts
.
In
Dortmund,
voters will
have a fourth election because they also have to
vote
on the parties in the
Ruhr Parliament
- an institution that can only be found in the
Ruhr area
.
But caution is advised.
The voter fills out several ballot papers for the
local elections
in Dortmund, but he has to be careful about one thing:
Only one cross may be made per sheet
- otherwise his vote is lost and the ballot paper is invalid.
You will receive an overview of the events in the state on election day with our news ticker for the runoff elections of the NRW local elections.
Dortmund: How will the 2020 local elections work?
The local elections in Dortmund will take place on September
13th
.
Punctually at 6 p.m.
the polling stations
also close in the other large cities of Wuppertal, Bochum, Duisburg, Essen, Düsseldorf, Cologne and throughout
North Rhine-Westphalia
- this is when the most important part of the work begins for the election workers: The counting of the votes - this also includes the submitted by postal vote.
Only when all votes from all
electoral districts have been
recorded will the results of the election of the
city council
and the individual
district representatives be
certain
after the first ballot - often on the same evening
.
However, there could be delays this year due to the coronavirus protection measures.
As a rule, all results are known no later than the Monday after the election.
Local elections in Dortmund: The results of the mayor election come first
First, the
mayor election
is evaluated
, which is why the
result of
the
mayor
election should
be known quickly -
but it does not lose any of
its
tension
.
Because when
it comes to
electing the mayor
, it always depends entirely on: Only if one of the candidates can win at least 50 percent of the valid votes for himself is it enough for him.
If none of the candidates get the necessary votes, there will
be a runoff
on
September 27th
, which will ultimately decide who will be allowed to hold office in the future.
Our partner portal ruhr24.de * also reports on the election results.
If one believes a representative survey on the
2020 local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia
, it remains to be doubted that the next
Lord Mayor
this year will be determined after the first ballot.
Accordingly, it would even be very likely that the OB election in
Dortmund will go
into the second round.
According to the survey, the OB candidates of the SPD and CDU would then
deliver
a
runoff election
.
For the
SPD
,
Thomas Westphal competes
in the election of the mayor in Dortmund, for the CDU,
Dr.
Andreas Hollstein.
This year's local elections definitely mean a cut in local politics in Dortmund.
Change of power in Dortmund: a new mayor after eleven years
After eleven years, the incumbent Lord Mayor
Ullrich Sierau (SPD)
leaves
office without
running
again.
Sierau
was first elected in 2009.
Even when the city council decided to repeat this election, he was re-elected on May 9, 2010.
In the
2014
OB election
, none of the candidates initially received more than half of the valid votes, so that a
run-off election
took place, which Sierau was able to win again.
The
SPD received
38.2% of the vote, the
CDU
27.2% and the
Greens
15.4%.
Die Linke
landed well behind
at 6.8%.
This time
Andreas Hollstein
would like to
get the office of
Lord Mayor
for the
CDU
.
He has been the mayor of
Altena
since 1999
.
The CDU politician became known nationwide through a tragic incident: in 2017 he was the victim of a politically motivated
knife attack
.
Hollstein's attacker rejected his liberal stance on
refugee policy
.
Thomas Westphal,
on the other hand, would like to succeed his party colleague Sierau as Lord Mayor.
Since 2013 he has been head of economic development in Dortmund.
Which party will rule in Dortmund soon remains exciting.
