2024 European Parliament election in the Netherlands
This article needs additional citations for verification. (December 2023) |
An election of the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) from the Netherlands will be held on 6 June 2024 as part of the 2024 European Parliament election. It will be the tenth time the elections have been held for the European elections in the Netherlands, and the first to take place after Brexit.
Electoral system[edit]
Apportionment[edit]
Compared to last election, Netherlands is entitled to five more MEPs: three already assigned in 2020 in the occasion of the redistribution post Brexit, and two assigned in 2023 after a pre-election assessment of the Parliament composition based on the most recent population figures.[1] The 31 members are elected through semi-open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through D'Hondt method. Parties that do not reach a full Hare quota are ineligible to receive remainder seats, meaning there is an effective electoral threshold of around 3.23%.[2][3]
Electoral law[edit]
Both Dutch nationals and EU citizens residing in the Netherlands are entitled to vote in the European elections in the Netherlands. No voter registration is needed for EU nationals (including Dutch citizens) residing within the country, but they do need to be registered as a resident in their municipality on 23 April 2024. Dutch citizen residing abroad are required to register as "Dutch voter abroad" in the municipality of The Hague. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.[4]
Five municipalities – Alphen aan den Rijn, Midden-Delfland, Boekel, Borne, and Tynaarlo – will have a pilot to test an A3-size ballot, smaller than ones used in prior elections. The revised ballot would not list all candidate names and would instead ask voters to select the candidate number regardless of party. If successful, it is planned to be used nationwide starting with the 2026 municipal elections.[5]
Contesting parties[edit]
Voting advice applications[edit]
In the Netherlands, as for every other election, ProDemos developed the StemWijzer (VoteMatch).[20] The app shows 30 statements on European issues to the users, that can respond with ‘agree’, ‘disagree’ or ‘no opinion’, comparing their own views with those of political parties.[21]
