Final national results for all 21 participating lists, including lists that won no seats. 9,424,235 valid votes for candidates; turnout 74.57%. 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. 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.
