Dutch voters abroad: Voting with a voter card

Are you registered as a Dutch voter abroad? And would you like to vote in the Netherlands for the European Parliament on Thursday, 6 June 2024? Request a voter card. It allows you to vote anywhere in the Netherlands. Including Bonaire, Sint-Eustatius and Saba.

You can use the voter card to vote yourself at a polling station in the Netherlands. For example, if you live in a border region or if you will be in the Netherlands on election day.

Good to know

• Your postal voting slip will be invalidated when you apply for a voter card.
• The Municipality of The Hague will send your voter card 6 weeks before the election. Did you unexpectedly not receive the voter pass (on time) at the address you provided? Then you unfortunately will not be able to request a replacement postal voting slip or another voter card.
• A voter card is valid for only 1 election. Do you need a voter card again for a future election? Then you need to apply for it again.
• To apply for a voter card you need to be registered as a Dutch voter abroad.
• You can personally give your voter card to another voter. This person can then vote on your behalf on 6 June. You can do this, for example, if you are not able to vote yourself on election day. You must both fill out and sign the back of the voter card.
