The reorganization elections related to this restructuring had been held on 27 November 1996. The original bill submitted to the House of Representatives (Tweede Kamer) stipulated that the municipal councils installed on 1 January 1997 would serve a term of 5 years and 4 months, until the municipal elections of 2002, thereby skipping the regular elections of 1998. However, during the parliamentary debate, this term was considered too long. An amendment was added to the bill stipulating that regular municipal elections would be held on 3 March 1999 in the municipalities affected by this reorganization. For practical reasons, this date coincided with the 1999 Provincial Council elections.
