Krefeld - The first
results of
the

In the 2020 local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia, the standard date for all runoff elections is
Sunday, September 27th

incumbent mayor Frank Meyer

ultimately
decide
on the outcome of the OB election.
In this
second ballot
, a
simple majority is
enough
to win.

was made more difficult by the corona virus, the
turnout
in the OB election in Krefeld was still 46.56 percent, as
reported by the
Niederrhein municipal computing center
- in the last
OB election
five years ago it was 36, 70 percent.

The incumbent
Frank Meyer
could
not prevail
despite his
good result
in the first ballot
.
With 43.37 percent, he did not achieve the required absolute majority of the Krefeld votes.
He still got a
clear lead
over the
runner-up Kerstin Jensen
.
In the
2020 local elections, this
only came to a result of 27.57 percent.
Also
dissatisfied
with his
election result
likely
candidate of the Greens, Thorsten Hansen
be.
With only 15.38%, he could
not expand
his result of the last OB election
- at that time he got as many votes off the cuff as an unknown candidate as now as an established face.

Frank Meyer had to go
to the runoff election
five years ago
.
Back then, his starting position in the first ballot was
worse than it is today
.
In the first ballot he was able to get 45.03 percent of the votes in the OB election at the time, but his competitor
Peter Vermeulen
(CDU) also got 35.13 percent.
The
result of
the
subsequent runoff election
in Krefeld was still relatively clear: 63.85% of Krefeld elected Frank Meyer as
mayor
in the second ballot
.
When will there be a result in the runoff election in Krefeld?
The voters in North Rhine-Westphalia are allowed to
visit
the
polling stations
until 6 p.m. to
cast
their
ballot papers
.
In the independent cities there are only two names on the ballot as OB candidates.
The voter can therefore make exactly one cross.
The
counting
of the ballot results is so simple in Krefeld.
The final runoff result of the
2020 OB election
should therefore be clear on the
evening of the election
, as long as not very few votes are decisive in the end.
