The Dutch phrase "wanneer stemmen bekend" translates to "when are the votes known" or more naturally "when is the result known." Here’s the concise answer:
- In the Netherlands, the official result for the Tweede Kamerverkiezing (House of Representatives election) is typically announced by the Kiesraad eight days after the election, in a public session. Local and provisional tallies are often available earlier, with party-by-party results sometimes shared on election night or the following day, but the final official result is published by the national electoral council after the eight-day period. This eight-day timeline is standard unless exceptional circumstances arise. [cite: official Dutch election procedures and reporting timelines]
If you want precise dates for a specific election (for example, the 2025 Tweede Kamerverkiezing), you would look up the date of the election day and then note that the official result is announced eight days later, with provisional results often available sooner. For the 2025 election, the official result publication date follows this pattern. [cite: official timelines and recent election coverage]
