Expected between 2029-04-29T22:00:00Z and 2029-05-18T21:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Electoral Code (2021 text) art. 148: objections within 48 hours of the close or of the preliminary results, SEC decision within 72 hours, Administrative Court lawsuit within 24 hours; art. 151(8): annulled polling stations re-vote 14 days after polling day; art. 135(2): final results published within 24 hours of finality. The final result says whether a candidate won a majority of all registered voters (art. 120) or which two go to the runoff (art. 121). Precedents (ODIHR Final Report): 2024 first round, polling 24 Apr, Conclusion on Finality adopted 2 May 2024 (day 8); 2024 runoff 8 May, final 11 May (day 3). The opening (day 3) is an ESTIMATED floor from the 2024 runoff; the window errs late to the end of day 21 (18 May 2029, CEST) to allow for a repeat vote, though a late first-round result would also delay the runoff. No court confirms the result afterwards, so there is no court-validation stage.

Electoral Code art. 101: voting 07:00-19:00; Skopje is on CEST (UTC+2) after 25 Mar 2029, so the close is 17:00 UTC. Art. 135(1): preliminary results posted as received, and results from the municipal commissions' records within 12 hours of the close. 2024 precedent (ODIHR Final Report): on 24 Apr 2024 the SEC posted partial results after the close and announced preliminary results on 90 per cent of protocols shortly before midnight; tabulation was generally complete by the early hours of 25 Apr. The window closes at the end of the day after polling day. Preliminary, not the final result.
