Provincial elections are scheduled to be held in the Netherlands on 20 March 2019.[1] Eligible voters will elect the members of the Provincial States in the twelve provinces of the Netherlands. The elections will be held on the same day as the water board elections and, in the Caribbean Netherlands, island council elections.[2][3]
These elections also indirectly determine the composition of the Senate, since the members of the twelve provincial states will elect the Senate's 75 members in the Senate election on 27 May, two months after the provincial elections.[4] Because of this, the provincial elections will be a test for the third Rutte cabinet, which currently has a majority of one seat in the Senate, but is expected to lose that majority.[5]
