Residents of Gorinchem (a city in the Netherlands) voted Tuesday in repeat municipal elections after the city council ordered a fresh poll following strong indications of fraud in the original 18 March vote. Concerns centred on alleged pressure placed on members of the Turkish community to hand over proxy votes, with one polling station recording 135 out of 650 ballots cast by proxy, including multiple visits by a candidate who claimed he was there only to take photos for social media. A criminal investigation has been launched by the Dutch public prosecutor's office, though no conclusions are expected soon; authorities and the mayor urged voters to cast their own ballots directly, with multilingual information distributed and polling station staff given special briefings on proxy voting.
