    precedent
    The state government decided on 24 Mar 2026 that the Landtag election is held on Sunday 18 Apr 2027 (State Returning Officer's notice of 24 Mar 2026, IV 314 - 86199/2025: "Nach dem Beschluss der Landesregierung vom 24. März 2026 findet die Wahl des Landtages am Sonntag, dem 18. April 2027 statt."). The Landtag's news of 25 Mar 2026 gives the constitutional window: the new election must fall between the 58th and 60th month after the start of the term (the Landtag constituted on 7 Jun 2022), i.e. 8 Apr to 7 Jun 2027. The count starts at 18:00 when voting ends (2022 schedule: "Ab 18:00 Uhr Auszählung live verfolgen"); 18:00 CEST = 16:00 UTC. The polling-hours provision of the LWahlG/LWO was not read on the legal portal. 2022 precedent: on election night (8 May 2022) the preliminary results and the seat distribution were published on www.landtagswahl-sh.de once all precincts were counted, with result tables following on the Monday morning (Statistik Nord publication schedule). The exact 2022 completion time was not found; the window closes at 01:59 CEST on Monday 19 Apr 2027, an estimate. This is the preliminary count, not the official result. Seats: 69 regular (35 constituencies, 34 list seats); overhang seats ("Mehrsitze") and further balancing seats can raise the number (§ 3(5) LWahlG, per the 2022 report); the 2017 Landtag had 73 members, the 2022 Landtag 69.

    precedent
    The Landeswahlausschuss determines the final result; the State Returning Officer publishes it. No statutory deadline was read (the LWahlG and LWO texts were not opened on the legal portal). 2022 precedent: the State Returning Officer's final-results report is signed "Kiel, 20. Mai 2022" and the final result tables are dated 20 May 2022, 12 days after the 8 May vote (Statistik Nord 2022 page and schedule). On the same interval the 2027 final result would appear around Friday 30 Apr 2027. The opening (Friday 23 Apr 2027, 00:00 CEST) is an ESTIMATED floor; the window closes at the end of Monday 10 May 2027, CEST, 22 days after polling day and ten days past the 2022 interval. Challenges go through the Landtag's election scrutiny, which does not delay the determination, so there is no court-validation stage.
