Final results
During a public meeting of the municipal electoral committee at the municipal office in Maarssen-Dorp on Tuesday, 24 March 2026, several reports (one from voters and one from the Electoral Council) were examined. The municipal electoral committee investigated the reports. A report of the findings was drawn up and can be found at stichtsevecht.nl/elections (links to an external website). The handling of these reports did not affect the results. The central electoral committee confirmed the final results at both list and candidate level during a public meeting today, Thursday, 26 March.
