Kogutulemuste

Kogutulemuste is an Estonian term that translates to "total results" or "aggregate outcomes." It is most commonly used in the context of elections or voting processes. When referring to kogutulemuste in an election, it signifies the final, consolidated count of all votes cast across all polling stations and for all candidates or parties. This comprehensive figure represents the definitive outcome of the election, determining winners and the distribution of seats or mandates.

The process of determining kogutulemuste involves several stages. Initially, individual polling stations count their respective votes. These preliminary results are then compiled and verified at a regional level. Finally, a central election commission or authority aggregates all the verified regional results to produce the official kogutulemuste. This final tally is crucial for legal and administrative purposes, forming the basis for any subsequent actions such as the formation of governments or the allocation of parliamentary seats. The term emphasizes the completeness and finality of the election results.
