Election of the First Chamber

The members of the provincial parliaments elect the members of the new First Chamber on May 27, 2019 by secret ballot by proportional representation. Since the population of the provinces is very different in relation to the number of representatives in the provincial parliaments, the votes are weighted with voting values. The province's voting value is calculated by dividing its population by 100 times the number of members of the provincial parliament. Otherwise, the electoral system is almost identical to that used for the election to the Second Chamber .

For the first time, the Caribbean Netherlands also have an influence on the distribution of seats, which is, however, very small due to the small number of inhabitants (around 25,000, the whole of the Netherlands over 17 million). Electors were elected on each of the three islands ( 9 on Bonaire , 5 each on Sint Eustatius and Saba ) who, like the members of the provincial parliaments, take part in the election of the First Chamber. The provisions for voting values ​​apply accordingly.

The voting values ​​for 2019 are:

  • Groningen: 136
  • Friesland: 151
  • Overijssel: 246
  • Flevoland: 102
  • Gelderland: 377
  • Utrecht: 274
  • North Holland: 519
  • South Holland: 668
  • Zeeland: 98
  • Noord-Brabant: 463
  • Limburg: 237
  • Bonaire: 22
  • St. Eustatius: 6
  • Saba: 4
