Talk:Municipal executive

This article was desperately in need of editing for language, organisation, clarity, etc. The information incorporated into the revised version was already in the article or drawn from the Dutch equivalent article. Schildewaert (talk) 22:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

Council

The article makes clear that a wethouder can be elected from the council, but that the wethouder can't continue to vote in the council. That said, once a sitting councilperson is elected a wethouder, do they still hold both seats, or just the wethouder seat? If the latter, is the old council seat left vacant filled, and if so, how is that done? --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:11, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

Does no one have an answer for this? When council member is elected a wethouder, does the seat on the council become vacant or does the wethouder sit in both bodies? If it becomes vacant, what is the process of filling this seat on the council upon the elevation of that member to wethouder? --Criticalthinker (talk) 07:32, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

The seat becomes vacant, and is taken up by the next person on the party list. So for example if the party has gotten 10 seats and one of this party's elected council members becomes a wethouder, number 11 on the list becomes a council member in their stead. I don't have a source on that right now, I know this from being active in municipal elections myself. I'll edit it now, if anyone wants to add a proper source go ahead. --188.204.226.170 (talk) 10:10, 13 June 2018 (UTC)
