VOTING
The voting will take place in Munich at 16:30 local German time. The first ballot results will be announced at approximately 16:40 and there could be up to three additional ballots.
If there is no absolute majority on a ballot, the bid with the least amount of votes will be eliminated before the next ballot. When a bid collects the majority of the votes, it will win the nomination.
According to Berliner Zeitung, twenty-five NOK members, 16 honorary and 25 ex-officio NOK members, and 32 Olympic sports associations, with three votes each, must decide who the German candidate will be.
Out of possible 137 votes, 69 are needed for an absolute majority.
