The ten seats were elected using proportional representation, with seats allocated using the D'Hondt method.
Voting rights were given to all citizens who were allowed to vote in Dutch parliament elections, Dutch citizens resident in other member states and did not already have voting rights for the Dutch Parliament elections and citizens of other member states who lived in the Netherlands, provided their home country granted similar rights.
The Labour Party and Political Party of Radicals formed an electoral alliance.
