2020 Brabant Assembly Election

The 2020 Brabant Assembly Elections were held in November 2020, to elect the 45 members of the Brabant Assembly. It was the second election since the creation of the Brabant Assembly. The election was won by the DNP in terms of seat count, however Phoenix won the largest number of constituencies.

Campaign
The four parties stood on different views on the future of Brabant. The Dutch Nationalist Party advocates the secession of Brabant and continued devolution of powers to the Assembly. The Conservative Union hold an opposite opinion and believe the assembly should be entirely dissolved and split into three authorities. Both Phoenix and Solidarity took a pro-devolution but pro-unionist position. Typically, Solidarity were seen as in favour of more power to Brabant.

Results
Using the Single Transferable Vote system, voters were asked to rank parties from 1 to 4, with the votes of the party with the fewest votes once all over the quota for that constituency (1/Number of Representatives) were allotted a seat and the quota subtracted from their total. Overall, STV only became critical in one race - Kesmuiden, where the Conservatives in spite of recieving just 8.5% of the vote on first preferences was caught ahead of a 4 way battle for the third seat in which there was a race to achieve the most votes after 75% of the vote had been removed.
