'''Federal elections''' were held in [[Hennehouwe]] on 1 September 2017 to elect all 180 members of the [[Chamber of Deputies (Hennehouwe)|27th Chamber of Deputies]].
'''Breugeldal''', officially the '''Dutch of Breugeldal''' ({{wp|Dutch language|Hennish}}: ''Hertogdom Breugeldal''), is a sovereign state and {{wp|microstate}} located in eastern [[Euclea]] {{wp|enclave|enclaved}} by [[Hennehouwe]]. It is a {{wp|constitutional monarchy}}, headed by the [[Duke of Breugeldal]]. The capital of Breugeldal is [[De Oudestad]], while its most populous settlement is [[Vosberg]].
 
The election was triggered by the [[Progressive Democrats (Hennehouwe)|Progressive Democratic Party]]'s (VDP) withdrawal of support for [[Premier of Hennehouwe|Premier]] [[Michiel Hagan]]'s centre-right government in June. The coalition, formed after the [[2014 Hennish federal election|2014 election]], consisted of Hagan's [[National People's Party (Hennehouwe)|National People's Party]] (NVP), the [[Agrarian–Farmer's Party]] (ABP), the [[Party for the Petois]] (PP), [[LIVE – The Liberal Union|LIVE]] and the [[People's Party for Sotirian Democracy]] (VSD). It lacked a majority in the Chamber, and as such relied on support from the VDP throughout its three years of existence.
 
The [[Socialist Labour Party (Hennehouwe)|Socialist Labour Party]] became the largest party for the first time since 2010, winning 49 seats on 23.2% of the vote. The VDP achieved the best result in its 28-year history, finishing in second place with 40 seats. The NVP received its worst result since 1978, winning 36 seats and falling to third place for the first time ever. The other big winner of the elections were the far-right [[Patriot's March]], who gained six seats for a total of 16 seats in the Chamber. The [[Green Party (Hennehouwe)|Greens]] maintained their 2014 result of 11 seats, whilst the other represented parties acheived mix results. Provisional results were confirmed on the morning of 2 September, whilst the official results were certified on 6 September. The elected members were sworn in on 13 September.
 
Following the election, Hagan tendered his resignation as Premier, and [[Stadtholder of Hennehouwe|Stadtholder]] [[Adriaan Wilhelm Paulus]] officially tasked SAP leader [[Rupert van Bleiswijk]] with forming a new government. The SAP reached a {{wp|coalition agreement}} with the VDP to form a minority {{wp|grand coalition}}, supported from the opposition by the PP and ABP. The new government became the fifth grand coalition in the history of the Third Republic, and the first such consisting of centre-left and centre parties.
==Background==
==Date==
Article 42.2 of the Basic Law (''Algemene Wet'') states that a new Chamber of Deputies shall be elected no later than 28 days after the fourth anniversary of the first sitting of the current Chamber of Deputies, excluding public holidays. Article 42.3 states that the first sitting of the new Chamber must occur within 28 days after the election date, excluding public holidays.
 
The Electoral Law of 2000 legislates for {{wp|fixed-term election|fixed-term election dates}}, automatically scheduling an election for the first Friday of September four years after the previous election, or the second Friday of September if the former falls on a public holiday. An election prior to the fixed date can be called for in the Chamber via a two-thirds supermajority vote. Under the Law, the election had been scheduled for 7 September 2018. However, following a successful motion for a snap election in the Chamber on 28 June 2017, the election was scheduled for 1 September 2017, maintaining the convention of the first Friday in September.
 
==Electoral system==
The 180 members of the [[Chamber of Deputies (Hennehouwe)|Chamber of Deputies]] are elected by {{wp|open list}} {{wp|proportional representation}} in 10 multi-member constituencies corresponding to the [[Hennehouwe#Administrative divisions|10 regions of Hennehouwe]], with seats allocated according to the {{wp|D'hondt method|Berger method}}. There is no {{wp|electoral threshold}}, meaning the effective threshold depends on the size of the region: in the smallest region, [[Oudkessel-Witburg]] (7 seats), the effective threshold is around 10%, whilst in the largest region, [[Flamia]] (40 seats), it is closer to 2-2.5%. For an outright majority in the Chamber, a party (or coalition of parties) must have at least 91 seats. Seats are allocated to the regions in proportion to population, with a review of seat distribution carried out one year after the last census. Therefore, the current distribution of seats is the same as in 2014. Due to the nature of Hennehouwe's multi-party system, it is rare for any one party to singlehandedly obtain a parliamentary majority, and thus coalitions and/or agreements between different parties is necessary.
 
Electors vote by casting a preference for a personal candidate from their chosen list, rather than voting for a party list outright. If a candidate receives a {{wp|electoral quota|quota}} of either 20% of 1/xth of votes (x equalling the number of seats in that region) or 33% of the total votes for their own list, they will bypass the rest of the list in the allocation of seats regardless of their placement on the electoral list. If multiple candidates from a list pass this threshold, their ordering is determined based on the number of votes received. Otherwise, the remaining seats are allocated according to the placement of candidates on the list. Following concerns over the size of ballot papers during the [[2016 Flamish regional election]], the Electoral Law was amended to limit the number of candidates on a single list to two-thirds of the total number of seats available in regions with 24 or more seats. Due to the current distribution of seats, only Flamia and [[Lower Stegeren]] are affected by this change. In all other regions, the maximum number of candidates on a list is the total number of seats.
 
In order to participate in the elections, a party or list of candidates must provide declarations of support by 0.1% of all votes cast in the previous election in each region contested.
