Not Just Bikes 🇳🇱Oct 29

I voted today!

Now that I'm a Dutch citizen I am eligible to vote in the general elections for the first time!

It's comical how big the voting paper (stembiljet) is, but thankfully I'm old enough to have used paper maps, so I was able to easily re-fold it like a pro.

@notjustbikes what is the election system?

Do you just select one candidate or do you prioritise more than one?

@UlrikNyman @notjustbikes the Netherlands use proportional representation, I would guess that you vote for one individual candidate and their list at the same time like in Finland. The seats are allocated to each list with the D'Hondt method and then within each list to the candidates with the most votes.
