What should I do if I haven’t received my voting documents abroad?

If you are registered as a Dutch voter abroad, find out below what you can do if you haven’t received all of your voting documents or have lost them. 

A postal vote certificate is a voting pass for voters outside the Netherlands. The municipality of The Hague sends your postal vote certificate, together with a return envelope and the ballot paper envelope, by post approximately 12 weeks before the elections.

If you haven’t received a postal vote certificate or if you’ve lost it, you can request a replacement from the municipality of The Hague. The replacement postal vote certificate will be sent by email or post.
