- Algemene wetgevende verkiezingen vonden plaats in België op 2 augustus 1870, waarbij de Kamer en de Senaat beide volledig vernieuwd werden. De reguliere verkiezingen twee maanden eerder, waarbij de Kamer voor de helf vernieuwd werd, gaf een gelijk aantal volksvertegenwoordigers voor de liberalen en katholieken. Voor de Senaat, die een liberale meerderheid had, waren geen verkiezingen voorzien. Beide Kamers werden ontbonden bij koninklijk besluit van 8 juli 1870 en er dienden aldus nogmaals verkiezingen gehouden te worden. Toen de Frans-Duitse Oorlog echter uitbrak, kwam de Kroonraad op 16 juli samen om te bepalen of de wetgevende Kamers al dan niet in buitengewone zitting moesten bijeenkomen. Dit werd niet gedaan, waardoor de Kamers niet bijeenkwamen tussen de verkiezingen van juni en augu (nl)
