Official reports on the 2026 municipal elections

A record is made at each polling station. This document shows how many people voted and how many votes each candidate received.

At the bottom of this page, you will find the official reports from the municipal elections held on Wednesday, March 18, 2026.

The votes were counted centrally in our municipality. This means that an initial count was conducted at the polling place on Wednesday evening. At that stage, we only count how many votes each party received. 

On Thursday, all votes for the candidates were counted during the meeting of the municipal election board (GSB). The results for the entire municipality are then calculated. 

The final results, including the distribution of seats, will be announced by the Central Election Commission on Thursday, March 26, 2026.

Do you see an error in the result? 

If you notice an error in the results from a polling station or in the results for the entire municipality, you can report it online to the central election office by 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 24 . The error can then be investigated. 

Report an error to the central election office

Reports received after 10:00 a.m. on March 24 will not be processed.
