Local elections on March 18: thousands of foreigners can vote

On March 18, the Netherlands will hold new elections – this time to elect members of the country’s 342 local councils. Unlike in the national elections, people from EU countries will be able to vote, as will non-EU nationals who have lived in the Netherlands for five years.
Dutch News will be reporting on the campaigns, the big issues and on efforts to involve the international community in the vote. To kick off, please take part in this short survey.
