Final national results for all 16 participating lists, including lists that won no seats. 9,501,152 valid votes for candidates; turnout 79.06%. Vote shares use valid candidate votes and may differ slightly from rounded published percentages. Seat changes compare with the previous general election, rather than the chamber immediately before dissolution. ChristenUnie’s previous-seat figure combines the RPF and GPV results in 1998 (five seats). Ideology labels are our editorial classifications for the election period, informed by party histories and programmes; they are not Kiesraad classifications. Lists without sufficient evidence remain unclassified.
