On Wednesday, October 29, the elections for the House of Representatives will take place. We will choose who will decide on important issues such as housing, healthcare, education, and climate in the coming years. As a voter, you help determine how the Netherlands is governed.
The last elections for the House of Representatives were in November 2023. Normally, elections are held once every four years. Due to the fall of the cabinet, these elections have been brought forward.
