THE HAGUE, March 15, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Polling stations opened for three
days in The Netherlands Monday in a major test of a European government’s
coronavirus policies, with Prime Minister Mark Rutte tipped to win another
term in office.
With the country under its tightest Covid-19 restrictions including an
overnight curfew, voting opened at 7:30 am (0630 GMT) mainly for at-risk
people on Monday and Tuesday before the main election day on Wednesday.
