On Wednesday, March 15, the country held parliamentary elections in the Netherlands. The main contenders for the seats in the key legislative body of the country were the head of the center-right "People's Party for Freedom and Democracy" Prime Minister Mark Rutte and the leader of the far-right "Freedom Party" Gert Wilders, an opponent of migrants and an advocate of secession from the EU. Rütte won the elections and Gert Wilders became the second.
However, attention, in addition to candidates, should be paid to the places of voting chosen by the Dutch authorities. One of these unusual places can be called a train station in Amsterdam.
Another place, apparently not intended for people's voting, is the windmill in Oisterwijk. During the elections, it served as a polling station for local residents.
Even more unusual place for voting was the bar in Driborggen. It was amazing to observe elderly people and moms with wheelchairs, moving around the bar, which for a time became a polling station.
Some Dutch people, living in Amsterdam, had to overcome the fear of heights and climb to the 20th floor of the A'DAM Torenoffice tower. There was a polling station with a stunning view of the city.
Against the backdrop of the amazing places to vote in the Netherlands, the station in the living room of a private house in Marl looks a bit ordinary. A well-groomed apartment and a hospitable hostess were reasons for appeasement and a leisurely conversation.
For active Dutch, who conduct election day outdoors, the country's authorities also provided places for voting. For example, there was a station on the beach of Marker Wadden Island.
