Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 14 June 1859. The result was a victory for the Liberal Party, which won 69 of the 116 seats in the Chamber of Representatives and 31 of the 58 seats in the Senate. Voter turnout was 55.9%, although only 49,672 people were eligible to vote. Under the alternating system, elections for the Chamber of Representatives were only held in five out of the nine provinces: Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur and West Flanders. Additionally, special elections were held on the same day in the arrondissements of Charleroi, Liège and Mons.

  • Op 14 juni 1859 werden wetgevende verkiezingen gehouden in België. 58 van de 116 volksvertegenwoordigers werden herverkozen, namelijk die in de provincies Antwerpen, Brabant, Luxemburg, Namen en West-Vlaanderen. Er vonden ook buitengewone verkiezingen plaats in de arrondissementen Charleroi, Luik en Bergen. Deze arrondissementen kregen immers (net als enkele andere arrondissementen in de provincies die sowieso herverkozen werden) zetels erbij wegens de bevolkingsaangroei. In totaal kwamen er acht zetels bij. De liberalen verloren één zetel, terwijl de katholieken negen zetels wonnen. (nl)
