abstract: During the Dutch provincial election of 2019, the populist radical right-wing party Forum for Democracy grew to be the largest party in the Netherlands. In the province of Groningen, they drew their largest support from the rural municipalities in eastern Groningen, while they had limited success in the urban municipality of Groningen. As the theme of immigration played role during this election, this dissertation examines the spatial electoral disparity by evaluating the attitudes towards 
people of an asylum-seeker background across the research area. By conducting an online survey (N=356), this dissertation examines the differences in attitudes towards asylum-seekers and level of intergroup interaction between groups of residents of different municipalities and different voting patterns. The research finds no significant differences between the municipalities of Groningen. It does find that respondents voting for populist radical right-wing parties report interacting with asylum-seekers at similar rates to other parties, and rate both their interactions with and their attitudes towards asylum seekers as significantly more negative.
