TK 1956: Highest and lowest scores for all parties

Here the top 10 municipalities of strongholds for every larger party may be found. For PvdA and KVP also the 10 municipalities where they received the least votes are mentioned. For the other parties, this was not possible. For every party there are dozens of municipalities where it scored no votes. In 1956 society and politics was still pillarized. Also there were a lot of very small municipalities, with less than 1,000 inhabitants. This meant that in a lot of municipalities the population voted in a very homogeneous way, especially in the KVP strongholds but also in the rest of the country. In 1956 there were about 1,000 municipalities, more than double the present number. Especially the smallest ones have disappeared.

After the name of the municipality the province is mentioned:
