1839 Belgian General Election
11 June 1839 · The censitaire kingdom · 47 seats
Under the alternating system, Chamber elections were only held in four out of the nine provinces: East Flanders, Hainaut, Liège and Limburg. Thus, 47 of the 98 Chamber seats were up for election.
A censitaire election: only taxpaying men — around one to two per cent of the population — could vote. Recorded here as history, not a mass democratic election.
