With the municipal council elections on 18 March 2026 approaching, the political campaign in Wassenaar is gaining momentum. On Wassenaarders.nl, several editorial formats help residents — including international voters — learn more about the parties and their plans for the village.
In recent weeks, this site has published a number of submitted opinion pieces from local political parties. In these articles, parties outline their positions on key topics such as housing, traffic, municipal finances and the future of the village.
Informing Residents Ahead of the Municipal Elections
The editorial team has also launched a video interview series with the lead candidates, hosted by journalist Ellen Klaver-Asscheman. Each interview follows the same format and discusses major local issues such as housing development, asylum and integration, municipal finances and traffic pressure.
In addition, the written series “In the Spotlight” presents a short overview of each party and its main priorities for the coming council term.
Residents who want to know more about the elections, voting requirements and polling stations can also find practical information on the municipal website:
