March 15th is the date for the WATER BOARD elections
English
Water boards protect against flooding, make water in ditches cleaner, purify the waste water and ensure sufficient water in case of drought. The PvdA wants us to always give nature space, distribute water fairly, generously waive taxes and help solve water issues outside the Netherlands.
Water management affects how we live, work and spend our leisure time. Find out how we act on extreme weather conditions, water shortage, risk of flooding, costs of purifying sewage and aim for cleaner water in rivers and lakes.
As a resident, EU or non EU you benefit from good water management. And in the Netherlands you are allowed voting in the elections, by voting you help to choose the members of the water authority board in your area.
We are committed to:
- Sturdy dikes that keep your feet dry! With dikes on which there is room for nature and biodiversity.
- Clean water: all open water should be clean enough for swimming. (But keep in mind that you can’t swim everywhere because of shipping.) With good blue-green algae control and as many natural banks and biodiversity as possible. This is how we keep them healthy together now and for our children.
- Cleaner sewage discharge: only the 3 P’s are allowed in the sewer: poop, pee and paper. Everything else requires additional treatment, like medicine residues or microplastics.
- Taxes affordable for everyone: For those who live on the minimum, there is a waiver of payment.
You have received your voting paper by post. You take this and a valid ID to the voting station on March 15th, On the same day as the Provincial Council elections. Please note that as a non-EU or non-EEA citizen to bring your residence permit with you as well!
The upcoming election is a tight race. The Labour Party PvdA goal is to defeat the conservatives of the VVD this time. Last time we were only 700 votes short of becoming the greatest party.
