Elections of the Municipal council

In the Netherlands, elections for the municipal councils take place every four years.
The Netherlands has over 400 municipalities. Municipalities are responsible for the organisation of the elections. 
The size of a municipal council depends on the number of inhabitants of the municipality. The number of municipal councillors - and thus seats - is always an odd number.
One does not need to have Dutch nationality in order to be able to vote in these elections. Citizens of other member states of the European Union who reside in the Netherlands have the right to vote and to stand for election, subject to the same conditions as Dutch citizens. Citizens from countries other than the European Union must have resided legally in the Netherlands for five years to vote or stand for election.
