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.

Isn't it illegal to make photos inside the voting booth?

Yes and no. Its illegal to make your vote identifiable. It's to prevent you to prove you voted in for someone specific.
This in turn makes it hard for votes to be bought and sold or for blackmailers to be certain.
That's a subtle but important distinction. I knew there were restrictions, but I thought it was just a general ban.
