Dutch voters head to the polls on October 29 and far-right parties have made immigration the central issue of the campaign.

Geert Wilders' anti-immigration PVV is expected to become the largest party in parliament after the elections, but other parties are also adopting his anti-immigrant narrative and rising in the polls, notably the far-right party JA21.
