In the Saarlouis district, there were no changes in the vote tally either, the spokesperson of the county said on Friday. And the district of Neunkirchen, whose board had met on Thursday, also announced: „There were no changes regarding the Green Party.“

The final result of the election of the state legislature that took place on March 27 will be announced by the State Election Board on April 6. The Green Party in the Saarland had failed to pass the 5% threshold by only 23 votes, Green Party officials said. According to the preliminary result, the Social Democrats/SPD will hold 29 out of 51 seats. The Christian Democrats/CDU secured 19 seats, the Alternative for Germany/AfD three.

Generally, no „relevant changes“ were found in the Saarbrücken district during the recount. Only the Social Democrats received one vote more than originally ascertained, which, however, has no impact on the outcome. Further, the number of invalid ballots decreased by 70 because these were mail-in ballots – which are to be discarded, not counted as invalid. „A purely statistical matter,“ a spokesperson said.

Likewise, the number of invalid ballots in the Saarlouis district deceased by 14. „In one precinct, the number of invalid mail-in ballots was erroneously added to the invalid ballots cast in person,“ the spokesperson said.
