The definitive election result will be published later on Friday when the postal votes are counted.
In total, 46, 573 people registered to vote abroad.

In both 2003 and 2006, the VVD was the big winner among expat and international voters.
Rotterdam, where there were problems with irregularities during the local elections, will announce its final result as well.
However, the final seat breakdown, and results of preference voting, will not be known until Tuesday when the electoral council makes its report.
