Dutch general election, 2006
The 2006 Dutch general elections were held in the Netherlands on Wednesday, November 222006, and followed the call for new elections after the fall of the Second Balkenende cabinet. There are a total of 150 seats (zetels) in the second chamber of the Dutch parliament (Tweede Kamer). The elections proved relatively successful for the governing Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA) which remained the largest party with 41 seats, a loss of only three seats. The largest increase in seats was for the Socialist Party (SP), which went from nine to 25 seats. The main opposition party, the social-democratic Labour Party (PvdA) lost nine of its 42 seats, while the right-liberal People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and the progressive liberal Democrats 66 lost a considerable portion of their seats, six of 28 and three of six, respectively. New parties, such as the right-wing Party for Freedom (PVV) of former VVD MP Geert Wilders and the animal rights party Party for the Animals (PvdD) were also successful, with the PVV winning nine seats and the PvdD winning two, thereby becoming the first animal rights group to enter a European parliament.

Élections législatives néerlandaises de 2006
Les élections législatives (Tweede Kamerverkiezingen) aux Pays-Bas ont eu lieu le 22 novembre 2006. Ce scrutin a permis aux électeurs des Pays-Bas de désigner leurs députés à la deuxième chambre par un scrutin à la proportionnelle. Ces élections étaient prévues officiellement le 16 mai 2007. La date a d'abord été décalée au 15 mai 2007 pour ne pas tomber le jour de l'Ascension. Des élections anticipées ont ensuite étées rendues nécessaires par la chute du cabinet Balkenende II, parce que la coalition gouvernementale ne disposait plus de la majorité parlementaire.
