## Resource

The Netherlands is revamping its voting system for the 2029 European Parliament elections—ditching cluttered ballots for a sleek, visual design. Voters will pick a party via logo, then a candidate, with names posted in the booth. Tested locally, it’s speeding up voting and counting while reducing ballot box overflow. The old system bows out in March 2027’s provincial elections—unless lawmakers delay.
