LIVE DUTCH ELECTIONS. Overwhelming victory for Geert Wilders’ PVV, other parties follow at a great distance

The municipalities of Huizen, Schiedam, West Betuwe, Valkenburg aan de Geul and Halderberge have not yet reported the results for the House of Representatives elections to the ANP Elections Service. The results of the special municipalities of Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba have also not yet been received, nor have the votes of Dutch people living abroad.

Three municipalities have submitted an interim score. Amsterdam counted 85 percent of the votes, Purmerend 98 percent and Houten 72 percent. After counting 85 percent of the votes at party level on Wednesday night, the capital chose to continue counting at candidate level in the RAI on Thursday at 8 am. This continues until 9 p.m. Counting will also take place on Friday, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The complete provisional results will then be announced.

“For larger municipalities such as Amsterdam, it is more efficient to bring the ballot papers to one central location and count them there. In addition, the central counting makes the counting process easier to follow and control for voters, parties and the press. This contributes to a reliable result “, the municipality reports.
