Expaterience TV DEBATE - Municipal Elections The Hague 2026

The Only TV Election Debate in The Hague in English

Four Parties Competing for 80,000 International Votes and 8 Seats

As we approach the municipal elections on March 18, the influence of The Hague's international community has never been more significant.

With a potential electorate of 80,000 eligible voters (equivalent to 8 seats in the Municipal Council) it is vital that international residents make an informed choice, but many are unclear about the voting process, how to communicate their specific concerns to the Municipal Council (also called ‘City Council’), and whom to vote for.

Therefore, Expaterience, the unique English-language talk show produced by and for the international community in The Hague, organized a unique TV debate in English — bringing together candidates from the four major political parties currently represented in The Hague’s Municipal Council:

Coen Bom (Hart voor Den Haag)
Andrew van Esch (D66)
Maarten De Vuyst (GroenLinks-PvdA)
Benjamin Broekhuizen (VVD)

The candidates address key themes and local issues across The Hague’s international neighborhoods, directly responding to questions from the live studio audience and to findings from an online survey conducted by Expaterience in the weeks leading up to the debate.

The only TV election debate in The Hague in English is moderated by Expaterience Lead Host Sanjay Sharma

Field Producers, Video Report: Douwe Volk and Robin Uineken

Whether you are a Dutch national, an EU citizen, or a long-term resident, you likely have the right to vote. Don't let others decide the future of your neighborhood for you: watch and share this Expaterience TV Election Debate!
