# List of candidates in the 2014 European Parliament election in the Netherlands

The 2014 European Parliament election for the election of the delegation from the Netherlands was held on May 22, 2014. This is the 8th time the elections have been held for the European elections in the Netherlands.

## Background
### Participation of political groups

On Monday 14 April 2014, the Electoral Council had a public hearing on the validity of the lists of candidates for the election of the Dutch seats for the European Parliament. The candidate list of the Women's Party was declared invalid because the required deposit to participate (€11,250) was not paid. Furthermore, the following candidates of the Party for the Animals were deleted because their documentation was incomplete and, as such, could not participate in the election:
* Tom Regan (United States);
* Will Kymlicka (Canada);
* J. M. Coetzee (Australia).

### Numbering of the candidates list

In the public hearing on April 14, 2014, the Electoral Council numbered the lists of candidates. The parties who had obtained one or more seats in 2009 at the last election to the European Parliament were given a number based on the number of votes that the parties had achieved in the previous election. These totaled 8 candidate lists. The party with the most votes got number 1 and the rest were listed accordingly. The list numbers for the remaining 11 candidates were decided by a lottery.
