Results of the Bunschoten municipal council elections
On Wednesday, March 18, 2026, the municipal council elections took place. In the municipality of Bunschoten, voters could cast their ballots at one of 15 polling stations. With 17,668 eligible voters, the final turnout was 59.33%.
Mayor Jaco Geurts: “It’s wonderful that more people voted yesterday than four years ago during the municipal council elections. That’s positive and shows that residents are engaged in what happens in our village and that every vote helps shape the future of our beautiful municipality. My thanks also go to the many volunteers who worked hard to ensure the elections ran smoothly and carefully.”
Results
The votes in our municipality were counted centrally. This means that on Wednesday evening, an initial count was conducted at the polling station, tallying only the number of votes each party received. On Thursday, all votes for the candidates were counted during the meeting of the municipal electoral board (GSB). This finalized the results of the municipal council elections in Bunschoten. The central electoral board will verify this count in a public session on Thursday, March 26, and will then officially confirm the election results, seat distribution, and the candidates to be appointed.
