Voorstel van wet van het lid Klein tot wijziging van de Kieswet en de Wet raadgevend referendum houdende afschaffing van de kieskringen

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This is a private member's bill in the Dutch House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer), submitted by MP Klein. It proposes amending the Dutch Electoral Act (Kieswet) and the Advisory Referendum Act to abolish the electoral districts (kieskringen). Electoral districts are the regional units used when counting votes and allocating seats in national elections. Based on the title alone, the bill would change how votes are grouped and how seats are distributed across the country. The change would most directly affect voters, political parties and candidates who take part in national elections, as well as the electoral administration that organises them. The exact effects on seat allocation and regional representation would depend on the full text, which is not reviewed here.

National vote coverage: Netherlands-only
