2019 Dutch Senate election


The 2019 election to the Senate of the Netherlands was held on 27 May 2019, two months after the provincial elections.

Electoral system

The Senate consists of 75 members elected every four years by the members of the States-Provincial of the country's twelve provinces, who are in turn elected directly by the citizens two months earlier in the 2019 provincial elections, and, following a law change in 2017, members of the island councils of the special municipalities of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba. The seats are distributed in one nationwide constituency using party-list proportional representation.
The value of a vote is determined by the population of the province or special municipality which the elector represents. The seats are distributed in one nationwide constituency using party-list proportional representation.
