Register as a Dutch voter abroad
Are you living outside of the Netherlands? And would you like to vote in elections from abroad? Register as a voter once. You will automatically receive the documents you need to vote in every Dutch parliamentary election and European Parliament election by post. You can register simply using the form.
The deadline to vote in the Dutch parliamentary elections on 17 March 2021 has passed. If you register now, you will no longer be able to vote as a Dutch voter abroad in the Dutch parliamentary elections on 17 March 2021. You will be able to register for future elections, however.

Voting as a Dutch voter abroad
The standard way of voting for Dutch voters abroad is to vote by post. In some countries the mail service is slow or unreliable, for example because of the corona epidemic. Would you rather not vote by post? Then you can decide to vote by proxy or with a voter card. Look for more information on the page Voting in the Dutch parliamentary elections if you live abroad.
