Overview
- ProDemos has launched StemWijzer for 258 municipalities, distributing the tool via DPG Media outlets and using roughly 30 locally relevant statements.
- Kieskompas is active in 49 other municipalities and MijnStem serves additional councils, with 340 of 342 municipalities set to vote in this cycle.
- Municipalities typically select one provider, and StemWijzer offers a free option and a paid tier that includes deeper local research and party workshops.
- Questionnaires are customized through consultations with local journalists and political parties, with variants such as StemWijzer YoungVoice deployed in Utrechtse Heuvelrug.
- A few councils, including Renswoude and Bunschoten, skip commercial tools in favor of debates or local media, while officials and a researcher warn of errors on an unaffiliated AI site, keus.nl.
