count
The process of systematically counting, especially votes in an election or points in a competition.
Nach der Schließung der Wahllokale beginnt die öffentliche Auszählung der Stimmen.
After the polling stations close, the public count of the votes begins.
'Die Auszählung' (the count) is the noun form of the separable verb 'auszählen' (to count out). The verb means to count something completely or to the end. The noun describes this process.
Die Helfer werden die ganze Nacht die Stimmen auszählen.
The volunteers will count the votes all night.
The word is almost always used in connection with counting votes or results. Typical phrases are 'die Auszählung der Stimmen' (the count of the votes), 'die Auszählung der Wahlzettel' (the count of the ballots), or 'die Auszählung der Punkte' (the count of the points).
Die Kandidaten warten gespannt auf das Ergebnis der Auszählung.
The candidates are eagerly waiting for the result of the count.
'Auszählung' (count) is a key word in the context of elections and votes. You often hear or read it in the news after political elections, but also in competitions.

evaluation / analysis
'die Auswertung' and 'die Auszählung' both have to do with results and numbers. The important difference is: in an 'Auszählung', you count something systematically, for example votes or points. In an 'Auswertung', you examine the counted or collected data and ask what it means. Learners may confuse the words because both often occur after an election, survey, or test. Put simply: first often comes 'die Auszählung', then 'die Auswertung'.
Nach der Wahl dauert die Auszählung der Stimmen bis spät in die Nacht.
After the election, the vote count lasts until late into the night.
Die Auswertung der Umfrage zeigt, dass viele Mieter mehr Grünflächen wünschen.
The analysis of the survey shows that many tenants would like more green spaces.
