Local council elections 2026
Dear resident of the municipality of Gennep,
Tomorrow, Wednesday 18 March, local council elections will be held across the Netherlands. These are the elections that are most relevant to residents, as everyone has dealings with the municipality in some way—whether it concerns roadworks, waste collection, subsidies, applying for benefits, or organising events.
The councillors elected will make decisions on these matters over the next four years. It is therefore especially important not to waste your vote in these elections. The right to vote is also a great privilege and, unfortunately, not something that is taken for granted everywhere in the world. So make sure you use it!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow at one of the nine polling stations. Thank you!
Hans Teunissen
Mayor of the municipality of Gennep
