Below are the unofficial results from the European parliament elections in the
Netherlands. Officially, member states are not supposed to release results
until the last polling station closes on Sunday evening, but the Dutch
government says transparency is equally important. The Netherlands narrowly
escaped a lawsuit after releasing unofficial results during the 2004 EU
elections.
