This role is on our board because we think it is an unusually effective way to spend a career. How we reason about it

This board is still in beta. The reason below is our judgement — tell us if you think we have it wrong. Give feedback
Why this is on the board
A team of around ten people writes the rules by which millions of Dutch people vote, and how well the country tackles every other problem depends partly on the quality of those elections. As an intern you do not make those decisions yourself, but you work on the new, smaller ballot paper and on preparing the 2027 Provinciale Staten (provincial council) and waterschap (water authority) elections.
About the role
Internship with the elections team in The Hague for 32-40 hours at the Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties, the Dutch interior ministry

What do you make of this?
The board is still in beta, so this is exactly the moment to say what you think. A vacancy we have missed, a judgement you do not share, something that does not work — all of it helps.
