May we have your votes please?

No, no, no, we are not talking about the Eurovision Song Contest, but the elections for the Dutch parliament on June 9th .

As overseas Dutch citizens we are allowed to vote via mail. First of all you have to apply for mail-voting with the mayor of The Hague, who handles all overseas requests. After the ballots have been printed, they are sent overseas; together with instructions, forms and a return-envelope. Because it can be difficult to get the votes back on time in The Hague, we can send them to the Embassy in Canberra for processing and counting.
