                      Friesland votes: a provincial elections guide for internationals

                      On Wednesday 20th March, the Netherlands heads to the polls to elect new provincial representatives and water board. What are the issues that matter to voters in the north? In the days leading up to the elections, The Northern Times will be sharing a guide for international covers in each province.

                      By Traci White and Thomas Ansell

                      What is being voted on?

                      The main election on 20th March is the provincial council. You may remember the gemeente (municipality) elections that took place in late 2018, and a similar array of parties are standing this time. The provinces have large sway and exceptionally large budgets, and so electing someone you feel is representative of your views is important. There are 12 provinces in the Netherlands, and each province has its own council called the provinciale staten. The number of members in each provincial council depends on the local population: more residents, more representatives. The members elected to the provincial council are in turn responsible for appointing the members of the Gedeputeerde Staten – the Provincial Executive – and, as of 2019, the members of the Upper Chamber of the Dutch parliament.

                      In addition to the provincial council, the 20th March election includes voting on a uniquely Dutch branch of government: the Water Boards. The boards cover the provinces, sometimes spanning one of more, and are the oldest form of democratically elected local government in the Netherlands. Water boards are responsible for:

                      -Managing dunes, dikes, quays, and levees to keep water levels sustainable

                      -Management and maintenance of waterways

                      -Maintenance of water levels in polders

                      -Treating waste water, including polluted water

                      On the next episode of our podcast Econ 050, which will be published on Friday, The Northern Times will dig into what exactly the water boards do and where your tax money goes.

                      Who can vote?

                      Anyone can vote for their Water Board. You just need to be registered within the Basisregistratie Personen (which gives you a BSN number). If you need to order a new voting pass (“Stempas”), it can be done from this web page. Only Dutch citizens can vote in the provincial-level elections.

                      General party stances

                      UPDATE: 1:24 p.m., Tuesday, 12 March 

                      The following party orientations are based on the parties’ stated stances in the provincial election site, friesland.mijnstem,nl, although newcomers Forum voor Democratie declined to take part, and Denk had no stated stance on any of the issues. The Dutch political parties that are standing in the Frisian provincial elections are spread across the political spectrum. If you consider politics upon two axes – left-right economically and conservative-progressive socially – the most left/progressive party on Friesland’s issues is the Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the Animals) whilst the most right/conservative party is the VVD (People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy) of current Dutch PM Mark Rutte.

                      • Partij voor de Dieren (Party for the Animals): Hard Left/ Very Progressive
                      • Natuurlijk Fryslân (Naturally Friesland): Hard left/Very progressive
                      • Democrats 66 (D66): Centrist/Very Progressive
                      • GroenLinks (Green Left): Mid Left/Very Progressive
                      • Socialistische Partij (Socialist Party, SP): Hard Left/ Mid Progressive
                      • Denk (Dutch for “think”, Turkish for “equal”): Soft Left/Quite Progressive
                      • PvdA (Labour Party): Soft Left/Quite Progressive
                      • 50 Plus (focused on issues for the elderly): Soft Left/Quite Progressive
                      • Provinciaal Belang Fryslân (Provincial Interest Friesland):Neither progressive nor conservative
                      • FNP (Frisian National Party): Soft left/Neither progressive nor conservative
                      • Christen Unie (Christian Union): Soft Left/Neither progressive nor conservative
                      • CDA (Christian Democratic Appeal): Centrist/Quite Conservative
                      • PVV (Freedom Party): Soft Right/Very Conservative
                      • VVD (People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy): Far Right/Very Conservative
                      • Forum voor Democratie (Forum for Democracy): Far right/Very Conservative
                      • SGP (reformed Political Party): Far right/Very conservative
                      Voting record in Friesland

                      In addition to the traditional party stance voting compass, the province of Friesland is the only one in the Netherlands that is also using a meestemmeter: the parties’ prior voting records on the issues. Parties that were not previously in the council – namely Denk and Forum voor Democratie – were not included. The voting record tracker is in Dutch, but it is helpful to keep in mind when considering the party’s current stances this election. You can find the voting track record of the Frisian parties at meestemmeter.nl.

                      Where do the parties stand on:

                      Government Leadership & Policy Issues

                       

                      • On whether Friesland should hold referenda

                      Most pro: SP, FNP, D66, Partij voor de Dieren, 50Plus, Provinciaal Belang Fryslân

                      Most anti: CDA, VVD, ChristenUnie

                      • On working exclusively with sustainable companies

                      Most pro: ChristenUnie, Partij voor de Dieren, 50Plus, Natuurlijk Fryslân

                      Most anti: VVD, FNP, PVV, Provinciaal Belang Fryslân

                      • On whether the province should collaborate more closely with Groningen and Drenthe
