In total, 90,357 Dutch nationals who live in another country have registered to vote in the EU elections via The Hague.

That is a rise of almost 30% on 2019. That year, 35,690 Dutch expats actually voted, equivalent to turnout of 56%.

The biggest group – almost 17,000 – live in Germany, followed by Belgium, Britain, France and the US.

The number of foreign nationals registering to vote in the Netherlands in the European elections of June 6 also rose by some 30% on 2019, according to home affairs ministry figures.

In total, 67,000 non-Dutch EU nationals will be eligible to vote, a rise of 17,000 on 2019. This is taking the 5,877 British nationals who can no longer vote into account, the home affairs ministry told Dutch News.
