I don’t have enough context yet to give a precise answer. Election result timing depends on the country, the specific election, and the counting rules in place for that jurisdiction. Please share:

• Which election are you asking about (country and year)?
• Do you want the expected date of final certification, or the date when a preliminary result is typically announced?
• Is there a particular news outlet or official source you’d like me to reference for the timing?

If you’re asking about a general pattern, many major elections announce official results within a few days to a couple of weeks after polls close, with final certification sometimes taking longer depending on mail-in ballots and post-election audits.
