How can I send a POST form with curl that contains hidden form fields?

I want to submit a html form with curl on this site. http://pickupline.be/bekijk

When you click on "Stem", it sends a post form to http://pickupline.be/submitVote.

The form requires this fields:

<input type="text" id="num" name="num" class="required center_text">
<input type="text" id="firstname" name="fname" class="fname required" >
<input type="text" id="lastname" name="lname" class="lname required" >
<input type="text" id="mail" name="email" class="required email" >
<select name="birthday_day" class="required birthday_day">
<option selected value="">DD</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<select name="birthday_month" class="required birthday_month">
<option selected value="">MM</option>
<option value="1">1</option>
<select name="birthday_year" class="required birthday_year">
<option selected value="">JJ</option>
<option value="2000">2000</option>
<input type="checkbox" id="chkOpdehoogte" name="newsletter"><label   for="chkOpdehoogte">Ik wil op de hoogte blijven van nieuwe inzendingen</label>
<input type="checkbox" id="chkAgreeConditions" name="agree" class="required"><label for="chkAgreeConditions">Ik ga akkoord met het <a href="http://pickupline.be/reglement" target="_blank">reglement</a></label>
<input type="hidden" id="pickupline_id" name="id">
<input type="submit" value="STEM">

Please notice, the id is hidden. This is what I've tried so far:

curl -v --data 'num=${nummer}&fname=${voornaam}&lname=${achternaam}&email=${mail}&birthday_day=${dag}&birthday_month=${maand}&birthday_year=${jaar}&agree="yes"&id=100' http://pickupline.be/submitVote --referer http://pickupline.be/bekijk

But I don't get a response from the server. I've also tried to save the cookies and use them with curl, no difference.

Hidden is just a property for the browser to not show the field to the user. It is still sent the same way as any other form field in the actual HTTP POST request.
