New local party of two councillors who previously sat in the Hart voor Hilversum and VVD groups. Its programme focuses on area agendas with their own budget, cautious financial policy and affordable climate policy.

Against: Building up to 25 metres by exception
In a few places, such as the centre of the Meent, buildings up to 25 metres tall may be allowed as an exception.

How we find this out
The official list of candidates, approved by the central electoral committee on 9 October 2026 (retrieved on 9 October 2026). Age on election day. Source: hilversum.nl (opens in a new tab).
We compare each name with the Electoral Council’s candidate lists for Hilversum and Wijdemeren (2010–2022) and with the names recorded at council votes (Hilversum since 9 September 2020, Wijdemeren since 30 January 2014). For council membership before we have votes with names, we count from the election at which the person was elected. Aldermen are not councillors. We match on name; where in doubt, we checked the records ourselves. Spotted a mistake? Email contact@stemgidshilversum.nl.
Everything comes from the lists of candidates published by the municipality of Hilversum. Age is the age on election day, calculated from the date of birth on the list; we do not put the date of birth itself on the site. Not every list states gender: it is missing for D66, Lokaal Eén and Partij voor de Dieren. Those candidates are not counted in the share of women; we do not guess gender from first names. Wijdemeren means the villages of Ankeveen, Breukeleveen, ’s-Graveland, Kortenhoef, Loosdrecht and Nederhorst den Berg. ‘New’ means: not on any list in Hilversum or Wijdemeren from 2010 to 2022.
