Electorate
The KVP was supported by Catholics of all classes. Its strength was in the Catholic south of the Netherlands: Brabant and Limburg, where it often held more than 90% of vote. It was also strong in Catholic regions like Twente, West Friesland and Zeeuws Vlaanderen.
During the 1960s and 1970s the KVP lost part of its electorate to progressive parties like the PPR, the PvdA and D66.
