We remind you that the local elections in The Netherlands took place on 16 March. They were meant to elect the members of the municipal council, but not the mayor.

Instead, he/she needs to meet a job description, apply to the job and be appointed for 6 years by the King of the Netherlands, upon recommendation by the municipal council.
