Two other student candidates, Antoon Kanis (liberal D66 party) and Carina Nieuwenweg (labour party, PvdA), did not make it, although Kanis may yet do so if D66 get a seat. In any case, both wish to support their fellow party members who were elected. This time there was a polling station for staff and students in the Forum on campus. True to tradition, Wageningen residents voted very progressively. D66 and Groenlinks accounted for 22 and 17 percent of the votes respectively, of a turnout of 53 percent.
