The Electoral Council[2] (Dutch: Kiesraad), until 1951 known as the central electoral committee[2] (Dutch: Centraal Stembureau), is an election commission in the Netherlands responsible for gathering the results of national elections and determining the allocation of seats. It was founded in 1917, when the elections for the House of Representatives switched to proportional representation.
History
[edit]As part of the Pacification of 1917, proportional representation was introduced for the elections for the House of Representatives. The State Commission-Oppenheim was tasked with creating a proposal for the elections. This required a national election commission, to determine the election results, which had been in the electoral districts. On 12 December 1917, the central electoral committee was created, with members of the State Commission-Oppenheim as the first members.[3]
