Interactive results
: Click through our new Hessen election card in this article.
Four elections at once
: In the local elections in Hesse, mayors, district administrators, municipal councils and district assemblies are elected.
First data analysis
: surprising numbers and graphics * from the election night.
Update 03/15, 3:20 a.m.: Country result and others only from Monday
As an exception, a Hessian state result and many other results can only be expected in these local elections in the course of Monday.
This is a considerable deviation from previous elections, when the national result was always available late in the evening.
The background is that, among others, Frankfurt am Main and the Marburg-Biedenkopf district could no longer fully count the list crosses.
In general, it was due, among other things, to the many postal votes and the corona pandemic, which has slowed down the processes so fundamentally.
Preliminary final results from all districts and municipalities should also follow in the coming days.
Wiesbaden - On Sunday the residents were able to decide on politics at the municipal level on Sunday - but many results were still missing in the early morning.
Mayors, district administrators as well as local councils and district councils were elected.
From Bad Karlshafen in the north to Neckarsteinach in the south, those eligible to vote went to the ballot box.
And in the background we are again making a lot of data journalistic effort * in order to keep you
informed on election evening and on election Monday with the current trend and final results of the local elections in Hesse in 2021
*.

Interactive voting map: all results of the local elections
In order to always be able to offer you the most up-to-date results of the local elections on the map, we use a range of raw data.
We also take into account the so-called trend results, which are primarily counted and published.
These are all votes that voters have given a list - and not a single candidate.
More about our data methodology at the end of this article.
When can I expect the first and when the last election results?
In the past, the first election results were often available from 6.15 p.m.
First of all, the mayor elections * are always counted, which is why they should appear first on the map.
The reliable official election results from Hesse then follow step by step for each municipality and district and should be available in the course of the election evening.
We expect the final results much later, the counting may well go into the next few days.
In general, due to the corona pandemic and a high number of postal votes, there may be delays at the authorities.
Is the displayed trend result meaningful at all?
The trend result is an official and collected intermediate result of the count.
Trend results already take into account all votes that went directly to a list.
Only votes that were allocated to individual candidates are usually only counted later in the evening due to the high effort involved.
Experience has shown that trend results only rarely deviate significantly from the later, preliminary official final result.
We want to consider further interim results, such as complete quick reports or individual names at the level of individual electoral districts, in future elections.
How quickly do the election results update on the map?
We are constantly collecting new election results from all data sources.
Normally you will find new results of the local elections * in Hesse very quickly.
If you have already opened the article for a long time, it can also be helpful to briefly update it - then the very latest election results flow directly into the interactive map.
Questions and answers about the local elections in Hesse in 2021: Interactive voting card
How are municipalities and districts colored on the map?
In contrast to the past, we do not use the colors of the cards to be based on the elections for individuals like mayors, as there are only a smaller number of elections in Hesse on March 14th.
As soon as there is an official trend result, we color the respective area and the diagrams according to the strongest party.
This applies to all parties that received at least one percent of the votes in the previous state elections - we have colored all others in a uniform gray for better clarity.
In the municipality view of the map, we generally take into account the municipal councils *, in the district view the district assemblies *.
What do I do if the map or the data are not fully or optimally usable?
The interactive voting card in this article is used for the first time in the results of the local elections in Hesse.
Even if we tested and prepared them with a lot of effort - there could be a problem at one point or another.
In this case, we ask for your forbearance - and we are generally very happy to receive suggestions and feedback.
And if the map needs a little bit to load: there is a lot of complex data behind election results at the community level.
Nevertheless, we attached great importance to speed during development, so that the amount of data transferred remains as low as possible.
If there are individual delays in phases of high demand, we ask for a little patience.
What can I do if my device, browser or operating system does not display the dialing card optimally?
We have tested the interactive voting card on more than 200 end devices and optimized it accordingly.
Nevertheless, on individual device combinations, the display of the voting card may not be optimal or not at all.
If you use an Internet Explorer version 11 or lower or an Apple device with iOS9 or older (year 2012 or earlier), we are currently unable to offer you the voting card due to the extremely high technical complexity.
In this case, please install an up-to-date and secure browser such as Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome (instructions can be found on the Internet at Chip).
It is also possible that individual ad blockers do not recognize the voting card as a journalistic offer in some cases.
In this case, however, we offer you a wide range of articles on our portals so that you can find out about the local elections in Hesse in other ways.

Transparency: Our data, sources and methods
All election results and data on the interactive map come from official sources.
We integrate them technically, standardize them and prepare them for you in the most accessible form possible.
All personal elections, i.e. elections for mayors and district administrators, are taken into account directly by the respective municipalities and districts.
In some cases, we record their official websites directly (such as pages via Votemanager) and integrate the information presented there.
For all trend results, we integrate the data from Statistics.Hessen, which provides many numbers in a structured file format (CSV).
In turn, we record the final results directly from municipalities, cities and districts, which means we can deliver them to you promptly and much faster than via other sources.
In individual cases, we also research the results directly on site - for example, if a municipality does not offer digital data delivery.
