Center: New University Library

Until last year, there was a polling station in the University Library on the Singel. That location is now closed. Since last summer, the library is located in the University Quarter. The building, originally a hospital, was completely renovated after a 9-year refurbishment, with input from students. The polling station is set up on the ground floor, and during voting, you can immediately take a look inside the building.

South: WTC Amsterdam

The WTC Amsterdam is a place where companies, organizations, and visitors come together. Next to the polling station is a large model of Amsterdam measuring 70 square meters, made up of thousands of 3D-printed parts. Normally, people from all over the world walk here daily, but on election day, it is mainly Amsterdammers casting their votes.

New-West: Tea House De Akermolen

The Akermolen was built in 1876. When the new residential area De Aker was developed in the 1990s, the mill was at risk of neglect. Thanks to preservation efforts, the mill received municipal monument status. Stadsherstel Amsterdam restored the building to a mill stump, with a restaurant downstairs and space for activities upstairs. Tea House De Akermolen is part of the De Vrije Geer foundation, where people with intellectual disabilities work in service and kitchen.

West: Huis van de Buurt De Klinker

Huis van de Buurt De Klinker on Borgerstraat is a meeting place for neighborhood residents. Workshops, pub quizzes, and salsa evenings are organized there. You can also get help with administration or learning Dutch. After voting, a free cup of Oma’s Soup is served.

Weesp: Wispe Brewery

The Wispe Brewery in Weesp is located in the old Sint-Laurentius Church on the Herengracht, with high ceilings and stained glass windows. Sint-Laurentius is the patron saint of brewers. In the tasting room, beer is both brewed and served. Even if you do not drink beer, it is a special place to vote.

Southeast: De Tafelberg

Since autumn 2024, De Tafelberg offers housing to about 290 young people, students, young workers, and social entrepreneurs. Besides the residences, there are common areas where residents meet and organize activities. Voting here means choosing in a place where connection is central.

East: Borneo Architecture Center

The Borneo Architecture Center provides information about the history and architecture of the Eastern Harbor area. You will find exhibitions, lectures, and neighborhood activities there. You can also take an architecture walk through the neighborhood with a guide. The center is located in the Pacman building on Borneo Island, one of the striking ‘meteorites’ in the cityscape.

North: Museum Amsterdam North

In the past, the municipality built bathhouses so that Amsterdammers could shower, as many houses did not yet have running water. In Vogeldorp, there is still such a former municipal bathhouse. Since 2009, Museum Amsterdam North has been located here. During voting, you can discover the history and culture of Amsterdam North.
