Overview
- An Ipsos/NOS exit poll projects D66 at 27 seats, PVV at 25, VVD at 23, GroenLinks–PvdA at 20, and CDA at 19.
- Ipsos reports a margin of error of about two seats per party, so rankings could shift before the official count due Thursday.
- Voter turnout reached 76.3% according to NOS, with a record 135–136 thousand Dutch citizens registered to vote from abroad.
- D66 leaders called it the party’s best-ever result, while PVV is projected to lose seats versus 2023 as CDA, JA21 and FvD post gains and NSC is shown with none.
- With 76 seats needed for a majority and no party close, negotiations to assemble a governing coalition are expected to be complex.
