Polling stations have opened in Holland as voters begin to elect a new parliament after a campaign focused on economic and immigration policy.
The conservative VVD party, fronted by Mark Rutte, are leading in opinion surveys on a deficit-busting, tough-on-immigration platform.
The anti-Islam Freedom Party, led by Geert Wilders, also hope to secure large gains.
Former Amsterdam Mayor Job Cohen’s Labour Party promotes integrating immigrants and preserving social programmes, and he is hoping for a late surge of support.
Polls close at 9pm, with early results expected by midnight.
