Learn Dutch: De wethouder zal het voorstel pas morgen in stemming brengen. - The alderman will not put the proposal to a vote until tomorrow.

In stemming brengen is a formal function verb structure meaning 'to put to a vote' (literally: 'to bring into voting'). Using a light verb (brengen) with an abstract noun phrase (in stemming) is very common in official or political contexts to sound more procedural than just using a standard verb.

Why is there no negative word like niet in the Dutch sentence, even though the English translation says 'will not... until'?

In Dutch, the word pas is used to indicate that something happens later than expected. When combined with a time expression, it translates perfectly to 'not until' or 'only' in English. You do not use niet here; pas morgen efficiently covers the entire meaning of 'not until tomorrow'.

Why do in stemming and brengen go at the very end of the sentence?

Because zal is the conjugated auxiliary verb, it takes the second position in the main clause and pushes the main infinitive (brengen) to the very end. In function verb structures, the noun part (in stemming) acts as a tight unit with the verb and sticks right next to it at the end of the clause.

What exactly is a wethouder?

A wethouder is an alderman or municipal executive in the Netherlands and Flanders. They act like local ministers for a city or town, forming the daily executive board of the municipality alongside the mayor.
