For the 22 November 2023 Dutch general election, 26 electoral lists were successfully submitted, totalling 1,126 candidates.
The 150 seats of the House of Representatives were awarded to party lists, with candidates over the preference threshold awarded a seat first if available and the other seats awarded based on position on the list. The preference threshold for this election was 17,388 votes (25% of the electoral threshold). One candidate would have not been elected based on position on the list, but received enough preference votes: Daniëlle Hirsch (GroenLinks-PvdA). Replacements are also awarded based on position on the list.
The Nederlandse Omroep Stichting published an analysis of the top 20 candidates for the 18 lists that (sometimes) received seats in polling. 61% of these candidates were male, 38% female and 1% non-binary. The province South Holland was overrepresented, while North Brabant and Gelderland were underrepresented. These candidates lived more often in urban areas. The average age of these candidates was 43 year. 18% had a migrant background.
