election results stored in csv format. there are to versions "kerg" and "kerg2".

Encoding

There are two encoding versions of the "kerg" files:

ISO-8859-1
- for the years 2002, 2005, 2009, 20013
UTF-8
- for the years 2017, 2021

Encoding must be taken into account!

table header

kerg2 is simpler to import because it is a flat table. "kerg" has a complex table header. For example:

Partei
Erststimme		Zweitstimme
Endgültige	Vorperiode	Endgültige	Vorperiode

So it will be more complicated to import.

also kerg files are much smaller than kerg2 files
