About elections in Netherlands
I'm Bartłomiej Paruzel, and I built ElectioMap to map national elections around the world. This is the Netherlands hub on ElectioMap — it brings together the 12 Netherlands elections I cover, each with the official results, vote and turnout shares to two decimal places, and an interactive map you can explore region by region.
The Netherlands is a parliamentary democracy and constitutional monarchy in north-western Europe, a founding member of the European Union, the eurozone and NATO, and home to the seat of international justice in The Hague. Executive power rests with a Council of Ministers led by the prime minister and accountable to parliament, while King Willem-Alexander is a ceremonial head of state. Legislative power lies with the bicameral States General (Staten-Generaal): the directly elected House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) of 150 members, which makes and breaks governments, and the indirectly elected Senate (Eerste Kamer) of 75 members, chosen by the provincial councils, which can block but not amend legislation.
The Netherlands uses one of the world's purest systems of proportional representation. For the House of Representatives the entire country is a single constituency and the 150 seats are allocated almost exactly in proportion to the vote, with no formal threshold beyond the value of a single seat — about 0.67% of the national vote. The result is a famously fragmented parliament, often with fifteen or more parties, in which no party comes close to a majority and every government is a coalition assembled through lengthy negotiations (formaties) led by official scouts and informateurs. The same proportional logic governs the European Parliament election, the provincial elections (Provinciale Staten) held every four years — which double as the gateway to the Senate, since provincial councillors elect its members — and the municipal elections (gemeenteraadsverkiezingen) for the local councils, where independent local parties collectively outpoll every national party.
For most of the post-war era Dutch politics was anchored by three blocs: the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) and its confessional predecessors, the liberal-conservative People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD), and the social-democratic Labour Party (PvdA). That order has fractured dramatically since 2010. Mark Rutte's VVD led four successive governments from 2010 to 2024, the longest premiership in Dutch history, but around it the landscape splintered: the Labour Party collapsed in 2017, the progressive-liberal Democrats 66 (D66) and GreenLeft (now merged with Labour as GroenLinks–PvdA) rose and fell, and a succession of insurgent forces broke through — Geert Wilders' radical-right Party for Freedom (PVV), Thierry Baudet's Forum for Democracy, Pieter Omtzigt's New Social Contract and Caroline van der Plas's Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB). The PVV's victory in the November 2023 general election, and the right-wing coalition that followed, marked the most dramatic realignment in decades. The country also made brief use of advisory referendums between 2015 and 2018.
Elections are administered locally and certified by the Electoral Council (Kiesraad), the independent national authority that publishes official results at verkiezingsuitslagen.nl. This page collects Dutch election results since 2015 — for the House of Representatives, the provincial councils, the European Parliament, the municipalities and the two national referendums — each, where official figures allow, with an interactive map of the vote by province.
Each election listed here has its own page with the full breakdown by party or candidate and an interactive map of the result.
Every figure on ElectioMap is taken from the official electoral authority for Netherlands — the national election commission or equivalent body that certifies the count. I enter vote and turnout percentages exactly as published, to two decimal places and without rounding, and show seat totals wherever a chamber is being filled. When ElectioMap covers an election live, the page updates automatically as official figures are released. For the full sourcing and update policy, see Data & Methodology and the Editorial Policy.
