2023 Dutch General Election

The PVV shock

22 November 2023 · The fragmented century · 150 seats, 76 for a majority

Early general elections were held in the Netherlands on 22 November 2023 to elect the members of the House of Representatives. The elections had been expected to be held in 2025, but a snap election was called after the fourth Rutte cabinet collapsed on 7 July 2023 due to disagreements on immigration policy between the coalition parties.
