Voorstel van wet van de leden Bromet en Tjeerd de Groot tot wijziging van de Waterschapswet en de Kieswet in verband met het volledig democratiseren van de waterschapsbesturen

This is a private member's bill in the Dutch House of Representatives, introduced by MPs Bromet and Tjeerd de Groot. It proposes amending the Water Boards Act (Waterschapswet) and the Electoral Act (Kieswet) so that the governing bodies of the Netherlands' regional water boards are chosen more fully through direct democratic elections. Water boards manage dikes, water levels, water quality and wastewater treatment, so their governance affects flood protection and water management across the country. The change would mainly affect the structure and election of water board executives and councils, and the voters who elect them. Water board officials, residents in water board areas and the agencies that rely on water board decisions would be most directly affected.
