Update from March 14, 7:13 p.m.:
Even after the second extrapolation for the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, things don't look much better for the CDU.
The SPD is still far ahead.
According to an analysis by the Wahlen research group, the SPD in Rhineland-Palatinate scored points above all with local issues.
Her pluses included her convincing government work, her reputation among the population and her expertise on the subject of Corona, according to the analysis published on Sunday evening.
According to election researchers, Malu Dreyer in particular is particularly popular with voters.
Only a few weeks ago, the CDU was ahead of Dreyer in the polls.
Then came the mask affair, among other things.

Update from March 14, 6.45 p.m.:
The first prognosis for the state election in Rhineland-Palatinate meets with the CDU on disappointment, the SPD on great joy.
The Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister (SPD) Malu Dreyer sees a “clear government mandate” in the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate.
"You can think to yourself: For us, for me this evening is a happy evening," she said on Sunday in Mainz.
The result is “a confirmation that the SPD is a well-positioned party and that we fought with all of our colleagues in the party.
And that's why it's just so nice that we are so clearly at the top and have achieved the goal of being by far the strongest party and have achieved a clear government mandate. "

I have never left any doubt that the government alliance was a great one and that I will also be happy if it continues. "

The first forecast is expected shortly after the polling stations close.
Update from March 14th, 5:03 pm:

Then there will also be the first projections and results of the state elections in 2021.
You will find all the numbers here during the course of the evening.
Update from March 14, 3:40 p.m.:
In the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, over 50 percent of the 3.1 million eligible voters voted.
By 12 noon, the voter turnout including postal voters was 52 percent, as reported by the state returning officer.
Samples in selected municipalities would have resulted in an urn voter share of 7.5 percent by noon.
Another 44.5 percent have already voted by postal vote.
Because of the high number of postal voters, it is very quiet in the polling stations.
State election 2021 in RLP: when will the result be there?
When are projections made?
Update from March 14, 2:20 p.m .:
When is the first extrapolation available and when can the final result of the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate be expected?
The 3.1 million eligible voters in Rhineland-Palatinate still have time until 6:00 p.m. to cast their votes.
Experience has shown that the first projections of the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate are expected a little later around 6.30 p.m.
The results will be a little longer in coming.
The preliminary election result could be known before midnight if there are no delays in the counts.
However, several days can pass before the official final result is available.
Because the state election committee must first examine the results for the whole of Rhineland-Palatinate.
In the last state election in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2016, the final result was published around a week and a half after the election.
Results are not only expected today in the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2021
Update from March 14th, 1 p.m.:
Today, March 14th, the super election year 2021 started.
In addition to the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate, further elections are being held in Germany today: The state parliament is also being elected in Baden-Württemberg and the first round of local elections is taking place in Hesse today.
Update from March 14, 10.15 a.m.:
Due to the corona pandemic, it is to be expected that the proportion of postal voters in the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate will be significantly higher than in normal times.
There are strict hygiene regulations in the polling stations.
Many eligible voters prefer to use postal voting.
It is a slightly different election Sunday from what we usually know.
The state returning officer of the state is expecting record numbers for postal votes.
According to the
German press agency
, he is assuming
two thirds of postal votes with a turnout of around 70 percent.
In 2016, the proportion was just under 31 percent with a turnout of 70.4 percent.
Election Sunday: State election 2021 in RLP - record numbers expected for postal votes
Update from March 14, 8:35 a.m.: Election
Sunday in Rhineland-Palatinate has come.
From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., eligible voters for the state elections can cast their votes at the polling station.
Update from March 13, 10:01 p.m.:
The election in Rhineland-Palatinate is under a special star because of Corona - and as a survey by
Bild has
now shown, record numbers can be expected, at least as far as postal votes are concerned.
However, not all parties accept the contactless voting process equally strongly.
Voters from the Greens and the Left in particular use postal votes - over 72 and 73 percent of those surveyed have either already done so or are planning to vote.
The postal vote is nowhere near as popular with AfD voters: only 47.1 of the respondents have planned this type of election or have already voted by letter.
The SPD, CDU and FDP are therefore in the middle when it comes to the preference for postal votes.
State election 2021 in Rhineland-Palatinate: when will the result be there?
When are projections made?
First report from March 13th:
Mainz - March 14th is the first major election date in 2021. The state parliament will also be re-elected in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The surveys on the RLP state election show that it is by no means certain who will be able to govern the state afterwards.
The election result could initially leave several coalitions open.
At least one thing is usually certain: By the evening of the election, the people in the state will already know very well how the parties in Rhineland-Palatinate fared.
Here you will find all the current figures in the news ticker on the evening of the election.
When will the result of the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate be counted?
In the state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate in 2021, the polling stations will close on March 14 at 6 p.m.
Anyone who appears in the voting room by then can still cast their vote.
When the last ballot papers are then in the ballot box, the counting may begin.
The ballot papers from the postal vote are also absolutely secret until then.
So at 6 p.m. nobody knows any real numbers on the voting behavior of voters: inside.
Nevertheless, there are already clear indications of the upcoming election result.
What is the process from the projections to the election result?
As soon as the polling stations close, the first predictions about the outcome of the state elections will be made, as always.
Mind you, there are no extrapolations yet, because initially there are only the numbers that come from surveys of voters at the polling stations.
Election researchers ask voters to report how they filled out the ballot, just as anonymously as they did at the polling station.
The numbers at 6 p.m. come from this sample.
As soon as the first counts are completed, they are included in the forecast.
This results in the first extrapolation, which becomes more and more precise through new counts.
This process culminates in the final result of the 2021 state elections in Rhineland-Palatinate.
The projections for the state election are primarily about the second vote.
That is the vote that voters cast for a party.
The percentage distribution of votes is used to determine how many seats a party receives in the state parliament.
The results of the elections for the direct candidates do not change the general balance of power in parliament.
The second vote decides whether Malu Dreyer (SPD) can put a government back on its feet or whether Christian Baldauf (CDU) takes over government affairs.
When will the official final result of the RLP state election 2021 be determined?
On the day after the state election, the district election officers are informed of the local counts with the election records.
The election results in the constituency should then be determined as quickly as possible and transmitted to the regional returning officer.
Then it is the turn of the state election committee to confirm the results for the whole of Rhineland-Palatinate and to notify the elected members of the state parliament.
It can therefore take several days before the official final result is available.
For voters and political parties, the result is, of course, essentially certain before the final formal confirmation.
