Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 11 June 1870. In the elections for the Chamber of Representatives the Liberal Party and the Catholic Party both won 61 seats, resulting in a hung parliament. Voter turnout was 60%, although only 51,435 people were eligible to vote. Consequently, early elections were held two months later. Under the alternating system, elections for the Chamber of Representatives were only held in four out of the nine provinces: Hainaut, Limburg, Liège and East Flanders.

- Op 11 juni 1870 werden wetgevende verkiezingen gehouden in België. 61 van de 122 volksvertegenwoordigers werden herverkozen, namelijk die in de provincies Oost-Vlaanderen, Henegouwen, Luik en Limburg. Deze reguliere verkiezingen gaf een gelijk aantal volksvertegenwoordigers voor de liberalen en katholieken. Voor de Senaat, die een liberale meerderheid had, waren geen verkiezingen voorzien. De liberale regering-Frère-Orban I nam ontslag en de katholieke regering-D'Anethan werd op 2 juli 1870 gevormd. Beide Kamers werden ontbonden bij koninklijk besluit van 8 juli 1870 en er werden nieuwe verkiezingen uitgeschreven voor 2 augustus. (nl)
