- Bert Hubert is running as a candidate for Progressief Pijnacker-Nootdorp (list position 27) in the 2026 municipal elections, but cannot lead a NerdVote campaign this time due to his candidacy.
- He recommends several personal contacts: Elisabeth IJmker (GroenLinks, Amsterdam, position 6), Tijmen de Vries (PvdA, Katwijk, position 2), and Joep Bos-Coenraad (GroenLinks, Nijmegen, position 6), all of whom focus on digital autonomy.
- Elisabeth IJmker has championed digital independence in Amsterdam, including a motion to assess reliance on US big tech.
- Tijmen de Vries is active nationally in digital policy and is expected to contribute significantly to Katwijk.
- Joep Bos-Coenraad previously served as a councilor and advocates for digital autonomy in Nijmegen.
- Bert Hubert encourages voters to consider these candidates, but emphasizes that this is a personal (BertVote) recommendation, not a neutral NerdVote one.
- He also reminds readers to vote, regardless of their choice, and mentions the GroenLinks Digital Society Network list.
