The number of polling stations per 10,000 inhabitants differs greatly per Brabant municipality, according to a tour of Omroep Brabant. Relatively speaking, Altena has the most polling stations, and Eindhoven has the fewest.
Next Wednesday everyone can go to the polls again, but how far do you have to walk in your municipality for that? In the elections for the House of Representatives last year, there were significantly fewer voting locations due to corona. That is now over, but the differences between municipalities are large.

Accessibility
The Oude Appel Eindhoven party recently asked council questions about the relatively low number of voting locations. According to the Municipality of Eindhoven, the low number has to do with the high demands placed on accessibility. Striking: on Waarismijnstemlokaal.nl it appears that many other municipalities in Brabant do have sufficient wheelchair-friendly locations.
The municipality also reports that it is difficult to set up voting rooms in some schools, because sufficient distance must be kept. According to the municipality, many schools still find this important in connection with corona, while it is no longer an official corona measure.
