Official responsible for tallying election results - Elections may involve attempts at interference and data security issues.

In the city of Lenzen by the Elbe in Prignitz district, election observers created unease among the election staff, revealed state election commissioner Trimbach in Potsdam on Monday. Nonetheless, their presence had no significant effect on the overall election process.

Meanwhile, voters expressed dissatisfaction over the announcement of eligible voters' names in polling stations and the discrepancy between voter notifications and IDs. Trimbach commented, "These are common issues."

He further revealed his intention to examine the election on a broader scale, aiming to identify areas for improvement. "Certain counts were completed early, while in others it took unti 6:00 am the following day to obtain the final reports," he noted. "I'd like to understand the reason for the delayed results."

Contrary to the past elections, approximately 30 municipalities decided to postpone the count to the next day, something that was legally possible before.
