The official site no longer makes the complete 2025 candidate CSV available online. The source compiler therefore publishes every official first- and second-vote choice but names only elected people supported by the separate elected-candidates file.
These are official final results for the 23 February 2025 federal election. First votes and second votes are separate. A first-vote plurality did not always produce a constituency seat under the 2025 second-vote-coverage rule.
Rhein-Neckar Election Result 2025: No Direct Seat
An election result is a dated publication about a defined contest and reporting area. Certification status, ballot accounting and the voting system determine what the numbers can support.
A preliminary publication, an election-night update and a final certified result describe different stages. Electionpedia retains the source’s status rather than treating every displayed number as final. For historical research, the source version remains important because later corrections can change a total without changing the identity of the election.
A vote share needs a denominator: candidate votes, valid votes, ballots cast or another published base. Turnout can use a different base again. Compare the labels before comparing percentages. A margin in votes and a margin in percentage points answer related but different questions.
