election results

Who won announcements

Election results are the tallied votes and declared outcomes of an election.

The term typically refers to official counts determining winners: The election results won't be certified until next week.

Results may be preliminary, projected, or final, and in close races, disputes over election results can trigger recounts or legal challenges.
