EDITED TO ADD: Thank you to all of the Germans who replied to the post below with useful information. I'm grateful for all of the replies. I'm sorry that the outcome of the election wasn't better, and hope that the conservatives in your country will behave more ethically than the conservatives in certain other countries.

----------------------------------

There's an election happening in Germany tomorrow. I care deeply about it, but know much less than I should. The media here in the US hardly ever mentions it, except to report on Elon's meddling.

Among the many things I don't know is when to expect results. I'm aware that it may take months for a stable coalition to form, but can anyone tell me when to expect basic results?

My phone's data plan is very limited, so going to news sites with videos or lots of photos means using up my data too quickly and then not being able to use my phone for the rest of the month. I currently get most of my news from lite.cnn.com/ and cbc.ca/lite/news because they are the best sites I've found for low-bandwith news. If anyone can recommend a better LOW-BANDWIDTH site for German news, please share it. By "low-bandwith", I mean text-only or with only very occasional photos. Unfortunately, my knowledge of German is extremely limited, so I need news to be in English or Spanish. If necessary, I can read Romance languages other than Spanish, but only slowly and with much bewilderment.
