In the last national election, how many days did it take for the EMB to establish final results?
Denmark
Folketing (Parliamentary) Elections Act (Consolidated Act No. 369 of 10 April 2014)
Parts 9 and 10
The time scope is not specified in the law (except that the first count shall take place immediately after the polling closes and that the recount shall take place the next day at the latest). A first count of all votes is carried out at the polling stations immediately after the polling closes at 20:00. The results are reported continuously as the count progresses, and the results are tabulated by Statistics Denmark on behalf of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior and published continuously on a website. This process is managed in the course of 4-5 hours, depending on when the last results tick in from the larger polling stations. The day after election day a recount is conducted in the nomination districts and reported electronically to Statistics Denmark, which tabulate the results again and perform a quality check of the results and polling books. Corrections are performed by Statistics Denmark in cooperation with the relevant electoral commissions. This quality check takes about 4-5 days before the Ministry of Economic Affairs and the Interior is able to announce the final certified results.
