Only 49% of the electorate are planning to vote in the March 3 local elections, according to research by TNS Nipo.
Around a third of the people who said they would not vote are not interested in the elections while 21% said they did not know who to vote for.
And a poll of ethnic minority voters by the Forum institute shows just 34% plan to vote - down 10 percentage points on four years ago.
Of those who will vote, 40% back the Labour party (PvdA), down 20 percentage points on 2006.
