When is the Estonia legislative election 2027?

Polling day is 2027-03-07, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the Riigikogu race be official?

Expected between 2027-03-15T22:00:00Z and 2027-04-16T20:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. RKVS §74(1): the National Electoral Committee registers the elected members by decision once the deadlines for complaints to it and to the Supreme Court have passed or the complaints are finally decided; §74(3): the results count as declared on the day after the decision is published in Riigi Teataja, and the new members' mandates begin that day (Constitution §61). Complaint deadlines: 3 days to the Committee, which decides within 5 working days (§72); 3 days on to the Supreme Court (§72^1). Precedent (Riigi Teataja decisions): 2015 decision nr 97 of 23 Mar, published 23 Mar, declared 24 Mar (day 23); 2019 nr 94 of 28 Mar, published 29 Mar, declared 30 Mar (day 27); 2023 nr 79 of 30 Mar, published 31 Mar, declared 1 Apr (day 27) after several complaints (valimised.ee news 10-30 Mar 2023). Day 27 in 2027 is Saturday 3 Apr. The opening (16 Mar, day 9) is an ESTIMATED floor: recount done 9 Mar plus the complaint windows with no complaints filed. The window closes at the end of Friday 16 Apr 2027, EEST (UTC+3 from 28 Mar), day 40, two weeks past precedent to allow for Supreme Court appeals. The Supreme Court hears appeals but does not confirm the result, so no court-validation stage.

precedent

Riigikogu valimise seadus (RKVS) §38(1): election-day voting 9:00-20:00 EET; polling-station counts start after 20:00 and the State Electoral Office counts the i-votes the same evening (valimised.ee 'Ascertaining of voting results'). 2023: ERR reported the count complete 'at approximately 1 a.m.' on 6 Mar 2023, about 5 h after polls closed (news.err.ee/1608905309, 5 Mar 2023). The window closes at 06:00 EET Monday, 5 h past precedent. Preliminary: the municipal committees recount every ballot from Monday.

RKVS §60(2): the municipal vote-counting committee checks the polling-station result 'hääletamissedelite ülelugemise teel' (by recounting the ballots); the 2027 timetable puts this second count, and the second i-vote count, on 8 Mar 2027. Precedent: 2023 recount began Monday 6 Mar at 10:00 (valimised.ee, 6 Mar 2023) and ran Monday-Tuesday; the refined figures (turnout 63.7%) were published Wednesday 8 Mar 2023 (valimised.ee, 8 Mar 2023). Window: 10:00 EET Monday to end of Wednesday 10 Mar, EET. These are voting results, not the declared result: 'Lõplikud valimistulemused kuulutatakse välja pärast kõikide valimiskaebuste lahendamist' (valimised.ee, 8 Mar 2023).

announced

Constitution §92(1): the Government resigns when the new Riigikogu convenes; §66: the first sitting is within ten days of the declaration of the result, called by the President; §89: the President nominates a prime-ministerial candidate within 14 days, who reports to the Riigikogu within 14 days of the nomination, and the Riigikogu votes. No government before the result is declared, so the earliest bound is the ESTIMATED floor of the final-result window; after 2015, 2019 and 2023 the declaration came on day 23-27.
