Today Marco and I visited city hall after work to vote for the local elections:
To the voting area!
The Hague has 286 places to vote if my math is correct. Unfortunately the Central Library wasn’t a place you could vote this year. You could vote in a special tram (link in Dutch) however. I would have loved that. But it’s not a tram line I’d ever take, and it was running as a normal tram at the time. Imagine missing your stop!
Pictured: about half of the line
It didn’t take us too long – about 10 minutes at the most to get to the front of the line.
Live updates of the percentage of voters who had already voted, by hour
Admittedly, the number of voters is lower than 4 years ago when it was 51% at the close of voting (9pm). As of 8:15pm now it is 45.2%. The results are not expected until around midnight, give or take.
