From 1.6 million to 0: see how many votes each candidate received here

And some noteworthy facts emerge. Although Geert Wilders's PVV didn't win the most votes, he did, as party leader, receive the most votes, over 1.6 million. The top 10 naturally includes many party leaders, but there are also some interesting results to be observed.

The tool was created based on data from Datagraver, which analyzed public data.
The top 10 includes two VVD members who received a significant number of preferential votes. Fourth-placed Vincent Karremans received over 320,000 votes. Third-placed Ruben Brekelmans received over 165,000. Second-placed Mona Keijzer also received a remarkable number of votes: 111,000. That's only 11,000 fewer than party leader Caroline van der Plas.
It also became clear that Volt's second-place candidate, Marieke Koekkoek, will almost certainly have to leave the House of Representatives. She received 30,000 preferential votes, but Volt only retained one seat. That seat goes to party leader Laurens Dassen. Koekkoek, the candidate with the most votes, nevertheless ended up empty-handed.
Eddy van Hijum, the leader of the New Social Contract party, won't win a seat despite receiving just over 22,000 votes. That's more than Thierry Baudet of Forum for Democracy. NSC didn't win enough votes for a seat and will be leaving the House of Representatives after two years.
At the other end of the spectrum is Chris Jansen, who was State Secretary for Infrastructure before his PVV party left the cabinet in June. Last week, Jansen was ranked 26th on the PVV candidate list, which is highly likely to win 26 seats. This means he will likely barely make it into the House of Representatives. Jansen received just over 200 votes, about 80 of which in his hometown of Almere. He is the candidate who won the fewest votes, despite entering the House.
Zero votesJansen's fellow party members, Raymond de Roon and Erwin Prickaertz, appear poised to secure a seat in the House of Representatives with around 300 votes each. Peter van Duijvenvoorde (Forum for Democracy) also needs around 300 votes to secure a seat.
And there was one candidate who managed to win no votes at all: Gymaine Inen of the Party for the Rule of Law. This party only participated in two constituencies, and that was likely why Van Inen and her family couldn't vote for her.
The calculations are based on the results submitted by the constituencies to the Electoral Council, which will determine the final outcome on Friday. Approximately 10.6 million votes were cast for 1,166 candidates in the election.
BBB leader Caroline van der Plas doesn't see her position being threatened by the fact that her party's second-place candidate, Mona Keijzer, received almost as many votes as she did. Watch her reaction here:
