About this election
How the voting works
Dutch MEPs are elected by nationwide proportional representation with a low effective threshold. Following the post-Brexit reallocation and a further expansion of the Parliament, the Netherlands elected 31 members in 2024, up from 26 (later 29) in 2019. As is traditional, polling took place on a Thursday, ahead of most other member states.
