Initial results of local government elections expected at 22:30 on Sunday, says SingularLogic

The first results for local government elections on Sunday will be available at approximately 22:30, said Elias Giannitsios, project manager at SingularLogic on Wednesday.

This initial data will give a preliminary assessment of how party candidates have performed in Greece’s 13 regions and in 6 of the country’s largest municipalities (Athens, Thessaloniki, Piraeus, Heraklion, Patras and Larissa), he added.

Giannitsios presented details on the collection and aggregation of results of the elections on October 8, the first of two rounds, during a press briefing at the Interior Ministry.

Some 22,722 electronic devices set up throughout the country will collect the results and feed them to the interior ministry’s main system through dedicated tablets, noted Giannitsios. Each polling station will include two ballot boxes, one to vote for mayors and another to vote for regional governors, he added.
