Results of the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia until 1969/73
In the following lists the results of the local elections in North Rhine-Westphalia up to 1969 and partly beyond this point in time up to 1973 are listed together. In the first part, after listing the parties and voter groups, there are the overall results determined for North Rhine-Westphalia. In the second part, the independent cities and then the districts are listed in alphabetical order with their election results. Only those parties and groups of voters are taken into account that have achieved at least two percent of the valid votes in the respective election. The lists are not always complete; because in some cases the results of the local elections that took place after 1969 are missing.
