    precedent
    The Bürgerschaft (Landtag) set polling day on 22 Apr 2026: "Die Bürgerschaft (Landtag) setzt als Wahltag für die Wahl der Bremischen Bürgerschaft der 22. Wahlperiode den 30. Mai 2027 fest." (decision protocol of the 33rd session, 22-23 Apr 2026, No. 21/685, item 12, on the motion of the Bürgerschaft's board, Drucksache 21/1731 of 8 Apr 2026). Under § 14(1) of the Bremisches Wahlgesetz, as quoted in Drucksache 21/1731, polling day falls in the last month of the term (which ends on 7 Jun 2027), is a Sunday or public holiday, and is fixed by resolution of the Bürgerschaft at least nine months before the term ends. The same day elects the Stadtbürgerschaft (Bremen city), the Stadtverordnetenversammlung (Bremerhaven) and the Beiräte. Voting ends at 18:00 (Statistisches Landesamt, 2015: postal ballots are counted "nach Ende der Wahlzeit um 18 Uhr"); 18:00 CEST = 16:00 UTC. Bremen does NOT publish a preliminary result on election night: in 2015 only 70 sample districts were counted on the Sunday for the Statistisches Landesamt's projection (first figures expected around 21:30), and partial running results with a provisional seat distribution appeared on www.wahlen.bremen.de; the remaining districts were counted from Monday. This stage is that partial count and projection; the window closes at 01:59 CEST on Monday 31 May 2027. Seats: 87, elected in two separate electoral areas: 72 in the Wahlbereich Bremen and 15 in the Wahlbereich Bremerhaven (wahlen.bremen.de). Each area allocates its own seats, and the 5% threshold applies separately in each area ("im jeweiligen Wahlbereich"), so a list can win seats in one area without passing 5% in the other. Each voter has five votes, which can be cumulated and split across lists and candidates, so the full count takes several days.

    precedent
    The State Returning Officer announces the preliminary result ("vorläufiges Ergebnis") once the count in both electoral areas has ended. Precedents: 2023, Friday 19 May, five days after the 14 May vote; 2019, Thursday 30 May, four days after the 26 May vote (returning officer's press releases). On those intervals the 2027 preliminary result would appear on Thursday 3 or Friday 4 Jun 2027. The opening (Wednesday 2 Jun 2027, 00:00 CEST) is an ESTIMATED floor; the window closes at the end of Tuesday 8 Jun 2027, CEST, nine days after polling day. This is still the preliminary result, not the official one.

    precedent
    The two area committees (Wahlbereichsausschüsse) determine the results for Bremen and Bremerhaven, then the Landeswahlausschuss determines the final result for the state, which is published in the Amtsblatt (§ 30(6) BremWahlG, § 61(5)-(6) BremLWO, as cited in the 2023 notice). No statutory deadline was read. Precedents: 2023, area committees on 26 May and Landeswahlausschuss on 31 May, 17 days after the vote; published in the Amtsblatt on 13 Jun 2023 (signed 12 Jun), with a correction on 27 Jun 2023. 2019, area committees on 7 Jun and Landeswahlausschuss on 12 Jun, 17 days after the vote. On that interval the 2027 determination would fall around Wednesday 16 Jun 2027. The opening (Thursday 10 Jun 2027, 00:00 CEST) is an ESTIMATED floor; the window closes at the end of Friday 2 Jul 2027, CEST, 33 days after polling day, which also covers an Amtsblatt publication on the 2023 pattern (30 days). Challenges go through the election scrutiny procedure, which does not delay the determination, so there is no court-validation stage.
