No flights

Jaap is stuck in Scotland. He was supposed to travel back home today but because of the volcano he won't make it.

A co-worker was planning to leave back to Europe yesterday, but he'll have to stay here the weekend.

A strange event, a volcano eruption.

Dutch Embassy to receive votes by mail

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.
