That the farmers’ party BBB will be the biggest party in the Senate after the election on Tuesday is certain. The party will almost certainly get 17 seats. But with the help of other parties, that may be 18, according to calculations by ANP’s Election Service. The Eerste Kamer, the Dutch Senate, is elected by the 12 Provincial Councils, by electoral colleagues on Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, and by a new electoral college that votes on behalf of Dutch citizens abroad. A total of 616 members will all cast their votes simultaneously at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
