First polling stations open for referendum

- The first polling stations for the referendum on the association agreement with Ukraine have been opened at the stations. The earliest voters can visit the stations of Nijmegen and Castricum starting at 5:00 pm. The other roughly fifty stations that can be tuned open between 05:30 and 07:30 their doors. The regular polling stations opened their doors at 7:30 pm. All opening hours are listed on the websites of the municipalities.

The big question is whether the rise will be high enough for a valid referendum. Therefor must show up at least 30 percent of the voting people. The no-camp was the last time in the polls. But even if the threshold is met or the government may decide to ignore the results.
