In Amsterdam's Bijlmer-Centrum, voter turnout consistently ranks the lowest among city districts, with only 22% participating in the 2022 municipal elections. Many residents, like 72-year-old Verginia, a retired nurse, express disillusionment, believing their vote makes no difference despite past participation. She feels her years of work yielded little financial reward. Conversely, Daphne Olivieira, a Black woman, plans to vote for BIJ1, citing the party's focus on marginalized communities, particularly people of color and residents of Bijlmer, and its platform addressing the housing crisis impacting young people in the Zuidoost area. BIJ1 previously performed well in Bijlmer, though its support dipped in national elections.
