What am I voting for?
Provincial States
The Province plays a larger role in your daily life. The roads you drive or walk on, the bus or train you take, the theater or museum you visit, the school you attend or the company you work for: chances are the Province plays a role in it. And you can help decide by voting for a party that suits you best.
The members elected during elections make up the Provincial Council, similar to the Senate and House of Representatives. The main duties of Provincial Councils are:
- represent the people;
- setting (financial) frameworks;
- and controlling the province's executive board, which is Delegates States.
In addition, Provincial States have the special power to elect the members of the Senate. This occurs 2 months after the Provincial Council elections.

The Water Board
In the water board elections, you vote for the general board of Waterschap Limburg. Waterschap Limburg ensures safe dikes and sufficient, clean and natural water throughout Limburg.
In recent years, the importance of safe dikes and sufficient, clean water in Limburg has become very clear to many people. Flooded basements, damage to furniture and property, dry fields: we have had to deal with extreme flooding and long dry periods. The climate is changing and the challenges are great. Your voice will determine how the Water Board addresses these challenges. Therefore, make your voice heard during the water board elections.
