The 2019 European Parliament election for the election of the delegation from the Netherlands is an election that was held on 23 May 2019. It is the ninth time the elections have been held for the European elections in the Netherlands. The number of Dutch seats was to increase from 26 to 29 following Brexit, but due to the extension of the Article 50 process in the United Kingdom, the number of seats to be elected will remain at 26.

Background[]

Voting and election organisation[]

Election Planning[]

Date Requirement
26 February 2019 Last day for registering political parties names
9 April 2019 Candidate lists presented to the Electoral Council
23 May 2019 European Election in the Netherlands
4 June 2019 Official results released by the Electoral Council

Right to vote[]

In order to vote, a person must:

  • have either the Dutch nationality or the nationality of a European Union member state,
  • be 18 years or older, and
  • not be otherwise disqualified from voting.

Additionally, nationals of other member states of the European Union must:

  • be resident in the Netherlands on the day the candidates are nominated,
  • not be disqualified from voting either in the Netherlands or in the Member State in which they are a national, and
  • have registered in a municipality declaring that they want to vote in the Netherlands instead of in the home country (by filling out the Y-32 form).

Dutch nationals abroad, as well as in Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten have to register to vote for the elections to the European Parliament. When they register, they must say whether they will vote by post, by proxy, or in person at a polling station in the Netherlands.

Dutch nationals living in another EU member state must make a statement that they have not voted in the member state in which they reside, if they want to vote in the Netherlands.

Dutch residents on Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba have no need to register, because these islands are part of the Netherlands. They are able to vote in person at polling stations on the islands.

Right to stand as a candidate[]

In order to stand in the European Parliament election, a candidate must:

  • hold either Dutch nationality or the nationality of a Member State of the European Union,
  • be at least 18 years of age on the day they would be sworn into the European Parliament, and
  • have the right to vote.

Additionally, candidates from other member states of the European Union must:

  • be resident in the Netherlands, and
  • be able to stand as a candidate in the member state of which they are a national.

Organisation of elections[]

Further information: Netherlands (European Parliament constituency)

In elections for the European Parliament, the national electoral districts play no role in the nomination. The Netherlands consists of a single electoral district. Political parties, therefore, take part in the elections with only a single candidate list.

However, the national electoral districts do play an important role in processing the election results. The principal polling station of each constituency determines the vote total of the constituency. The results of the vote are recorded in an official document and transferred to the Electoral Council. The Electoral Council, in its role as the central electoral committee, then determines the result of the Netherlands' distribution of seats.

Casting a vote[]

A voter could cast their vote at a polling station of their choice within their own district. At the casting their vote, they could identify themselves with an identity document which is considered valid even if it has expired within the last five years.

Participation of political groups[]

Numbering of the candidates list[]

Further information: Party lists in the 2019 European Parliament election in the Netherlands

The parties which had obtained one or more seats in 2014 at the last election to the European Parliament were given a number based on the number of votes they had received in the previous election. These totalled nine candidate lists. The party with the most votes got number 1 and the rest were listed accordingly. The list numbers for the remaining candidate lists were decided by a lottery.

Election day[]

Further information: Elections in the Netherlands § Timing

Traditionally, all elections are held on Wednesday in the Netherlands. However, the European Parliament elections run from Thursday to Sunday across the entire European Union so Thursday was chosen. This is because it is the only day that the Dutch Government believes is appropriate for an election day due to it not being a rest day for any religion. Sunday is not an option because it is a rest day for Christians, while it is the Sabbath on Friday and Saturday.[2][3]

Polls[]

Exit Poll[]

An exit poll carried out by Ipsos, as well as a forecast of the result produced by GeenPeil and Maurice de Hond based on a part of results collected, indicated that the Labour Party (PvdA) emerged with the most seats, followed by the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) and People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) with four seats each, Forum for Democracy (FvD) and GroenLinks (GL) with three seats and the Democrats 66 (D66) and the Christian Union – Reformed Political Party (CU-SGP) lists with two seats each, with all others on zero or one seat.[4] The result marked the first time the Labour Party had won the most seats of the EU Parliament in the Netherlands since 1984, and the first time it has won the popular vote in a Dutch election since 1998.
