No local election voting card? Here’s what you need to do

March 4, 2026

Hundreds of thousands of non-Dutch nationals are eligible to vote in the March 18 local elections and everyone who can vote should now have a voting card.

If you are an EU national or have lived in the Netherlands for more than five years, you should have had the necessary papers delivered to your official address.

If you have not received a voting card, you have a few days to contact your local council offices and ask for a replacement.

  • What you need to know about the local elections on March 18
  • A quick guide to the biggest political parties

This can be done in writing by Friday March 13 or you can also visit your town hall in person for a replacement voting card until midday on March 17. You will need to take ID with you.
