Wijziging van de Kieswet en de Wet openbare lichamen Bonaire, Sint Eustatius en Saba, houdende aanpassing van de regeling met betrekking tot het kiesrecht van niet-Nederlanders bij eilandsraadsverkiezingen

Stage otherUpdated 6d ago

This Dutch bill amends the Electoral Act (Kieswet) and the Act on Public Bodies of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. It adjusts the rules on who may vote in elections for the island councils (eilandsraden) of these Caribbean special municipalities. The title indicates the focus is on the voting rights of non-Dutch nationals, a topic that affects how the islands' local democratic bodies are formed. The bill would primarily affect non-Dutch residents of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba who wish to vote in island council elections, as well as the electoral administration that applies these rules. The exact changes to eligibility criteria are not described in the metadata; consult the full bill text for details. This summary is based on metadata only.

National vote coverage: Netherlands-only
