2007 Belgian General Election
10 June 2007 · The federal era · 150 seats, 76 for a majority
Eligible voters were Belgian citizens 18 years and older. There was a legal electoral threshold of 5% for political parties to meet to receive representation, but in several election districts the real electoral threshold is higher than the legal, due to the small number of seats to be elected in the particular district.
