It's Party Time!
Mayor Dirk Heijkoop calls on you: Go and cast your vote. It's the party of democracy!
On March 18, everyone aged 18 and older can head to the polls for the municipal council elections. It is a wonderful privilege that you and I can freely cast our votes for whomever we choose. That's why I call it "the party of democracy."
Parties—especially the people who will represent you over the next four years—are listed on the ballot. The choice in Hardinxveld-Giessendam is straightforward, with five parties participating. These are people who feel responsible for a municipality where living, working, and relaxing are good, where safety is generally ensured, and where people look out for one another.
Take a good look at the issues they particularly want to focus on and where they are asking for your vote. The voting guide can help if you're still undecided. It’s almost impossible that you haven’t noticed anything yet. In the village, banners are hanging in all the usual spots, and this time also at the town hall in the square.
You can hardly miss the political parties participating either. They’re standing by the shops, at the market, near the schools, or are otherwise visible in the village with various campaigns. They’re doing their best to convince you to vote for one of them.
My call to you is: Go and cast your vote. Who you vote for is entirely your own free choice. I sincerely hope to welcome you on March 18 at a polling station for "the party of democracy."
