To help you with when stembureaus open, here are the key details typically applicable in the Netherlands for the Tweede Kamerverkiezingen, and where to check for the exact local times. Direct answer
- On election day, most stembureaus open at 7:30 in the morning and close at 21:00 in the evening. Special or mobile stembureaus may have different hours, but they must be open for at least eight hours in total, and their exact times are announced ahead of the election.
- If you plan to vote in another municipality or need to know the precise local opening hours for your area, use the official sources from the Kiesraad and the municipality. They publish the opening times and any deviations for special or mobile polling locations.
- For the specific date of the 2025 Tweede Kamerverkiezing (29 October 2025), the standard opening remains 7:30–21:00 for regular stembureaus, with possible variations for special/mobile locations. Check your local election page or the national guidance closer to the date.
Context and how to confirm locally
- To find your exact polling place and its hours, consult:
- The national guidance pages from the election authority, which list default hours and notes on deviations for special and mobile venues.
* Your municipality’s announcements and the official vote-location lists distributed before Election Day.
* If voting outside your municipality, you’ll need a kiezerspas (voter pass) and should verify any different hours for the temporary locations used in the other municipality.
