The Royal Dutch Embassy announced today that votes for the Dutch parliamentary election can now also be sent to Washington D.C., instead of only to The Hague, the Netherlands.

Votes need to be received by the Dutch Embassy before June 9, 3.00 pm EST.

This is important for Dutch citizens in the United States who plan to participate via mail. Due to the short time between receiving the ballot and the deadline for it to be returned there was a significant chance that votes would not make it to the Netherlands on time.

As we wrote earlier registration is required for voting.
