Thanks to the efforts of volunteers who served at one of the polling stations and/or assisted with the central vote-counting on Thursday, March 19, the process went smoothly, calmly, and meticulously.
Mayor Roberto ter Hark: “It was wonderful to see how many Hillegom residents feel involved in the municipal council elections. And that’s a good thing, because municipal council elections deal with issues that are directly visible in Hillegom society. This involvement takes many forms: as a candidate-council member and certainly also as a volunteer staffing a polling station or counting the votes. Together, we make Hillegom, and as mayor, I am incredibly proud of that!”
Thank you for your contribution to this important democratic process!
