Home affairs minister Judith Uitermark has drawn up proposals to reform the Dutch electoral system which would introduce a limited form of constituency-based voting, RTL Nieuws reported on Thursday.

Currently, all 150 MPs in the Dutch lower house of parliament are elected according to a national list, but Uitermark wants to reduce that number to just 25, the broadcaster, which has seen a draft of the proposals, said.

The other 125 seats would be determined at a provincial level, with people voting for MPs to represent Noord-Holland or Limburg province. How many MPs are elected per province would depend on the size of their populations.

The proposal fits in with NSC leader Pieter Omtzigt’s wish to reform the way parliament is selected and increase MPs’ links to the regions. Reforms were included in the coalition agreement.

RTL says the plan has already been discussed with some ministers but is still being worked out in detail. There are, the broadcaster said, no plans to put up the threshold for parties to win seats, which is currently 0.67% of the total vote.

Some politicians have suggested bringing in a higher threshold to boost cohesion within parliament, which currently has representatives from 15 parties.
