- The Hague expects results from about 90,000 overseas postal votes Monday evening, a tranche that could decide which party finishes first nationally.
- Local counting continues, with Amsterdam’s final verification due Friday evening, Almere still completing its tally, and Venray delayed after a town hall fire.
- GroenLinks‑PvdA will select a new parliamentary leader on Monday after Frans Timmermans resigned, with candidates invited to come forward.
- PVV requested a delay to the start of coalition explorations until results are definitive, D66 agreed, and Speaker Martin Bosma is weighing the timing.
