The Frisian Parliament is the democratically elected Parliament of Fryslân. 43 Members of the Frisian Parliament represent 14 political parties. FNP currently has four seats; below you find more information about our Members of the Frisian Parliament.

The citizens of Fryslân elect the Members of the Frisian Parliament. Elections take place once every four years.

The Frisian Parliament has three main tasks:

  • representing the citizens of Fryslân
  • determining the policy framework for the administration (Executive Council)
  • scrutinising the work of the Executive Council 

The Members of the Frisian Parliament have another important task: they elect the Members of the Dutch Senate in The Hague.
