Over 35 million citizens will have the opportunity to vote on Sunday, during a period of about 11 hours, getting underway at 9am, but when will the results be known, when will we find out who will govern our Town Halls and, also of course, the autonomous communities.
Although there are many questions on a day like 28M, this is perhaps the one that generates the most interest: when will the results be known? When will we know who will be our mayor or the president of our community?

The session begins with the secretary reading the legal provisions, which is followed by the opening of the envelopes (envelope number 1 with the electoral documentation for each table) that were delivered to the courts on election day.
