Full general elections were held in Belgium on 27 May 1900. They were the first elections under a proportional system (using the D'Hondt method) instead of a majority system. Belgium became the first country to adopt proportional representation as basis of its electoral system. To make the system possible, smaller electoral districts (arrondissements) were grouped into a single electoral district (a group of arrondissements). The introduction of proportional representation was beneficial to the Liberal Party, which significantly increased its number of seats. The Liberal Party previously suffered losses after the introduction of universal suffrage in 1894.

  • Les élections législatives de 1900 ont eu lieu le 27 mai. Il s'agit des premières élections à la proportionnelle, soit au nombre de voix recueillies par chaque parti par (groupe d') arrondissement(s) administratif(s). Pour leur renouvellement partiel bisannuel, les provinces formeront deux séries : la première contient celles du Brabant, d'Anvers, de Flandre occidentale, de Namur et du Luxembourg ; la seconde les quatre autres provinces. Les porteurs d'un diplôme fin d'humanités ou supérieur disposent de deux voix supplémentaires. Un électeur ne peut cumuler que 3 voix maximum. (fr)
  • Volledige wetgevende verkiezingen werden gehouden in België op zondag 27 mei 1900. Deze verkiezingen waren de eerste onder een proportioneel systeem (met de methode-D'Hondt) in plaats van een meerderheidssysteem. Dit was een innovatie in Europa; België werd het eerste land om evenredige vertegenwoordiging als basis van zijn kiessysteem te hanteren. Om het mogelijk te maken werden kleinere arrondissementen samengevoegd naar grotere kiesarrondissementen. (nl)
