An engaged election day in Rozendaal
Wednesday, March 18 saw Rozendaal focused on the municipal elections. In our town hall, home to the only polling station in the municipality, there was a steady flow of residents throughout the day. Voting in Rozendaal is not just a democratic moment, but also an opportunity for community.
Live blog
Via the live blog on the municipal website, residents could follow the day’s events in real time: from the first voters in the morning to the vote count in the evening.
What stood out once again was the high level of engagement among our residents. With strong turnout and keen interest in the electoral process, Rozendaal has shown that democracy is alive and well here.
Gratitude to volunteers!
Words of deep gratitude are in order for everyone who made this day possible. The polling station staff, vote counters, and all involved employees and volunteers worked with tremendous dedication and care. Thanks to them, election day proceeded smoothly and pleasantly.
Formation of the new council
Meanwhile, the process of forming the new council has begun. Last Friday, I held discussions with the lead candidates. In those conversations, they expressed a desire to work with a scout to carefully shape the next steps in the process. The coming period will focus on further talks and exploring possibilities for collaboration.
Special council meetings
On March 31, a special council meeting will be held to say farewell to the outgoing council and committee members. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude for their dedication and commitment over the past term.
On April 2, a second special council meeting will follow, during which the new council members will be sworn in. This meeting will also feature a clarification debate between the three political groups.
You are warmly invited to attend both council meetings.
Thank you to all residents who cast their votes. Together, we shape the future of Rozendaal.
Ingrid Timmer
Mayor of Rozendaal
