Electoral system

Proportional representation with language groups

Belgium elects its parliament and federal chambers using a system of proportional representation. The unique aspect is that parties run separately in the language communities – Flemish, Walloon, and German-speaking. This results in no nationwide party system, but rather several parallel systems.

Many parties and coalitions

Since each language group has its own parties, the political landscape is highly fragmented. Coalition governments are almost always necessary, and negotiations after elections can take a long time.

King with a representative role

Belgium is a parliamentary monarchy. The King appoints the Prime Minister, but the real power lies with the parliament and the government, which must secure broad majorities.
Direct Election Members are elected directly by the people.
Party List Vote Voters choose between party lists instead of individuals.
Proportional System Seats are distributed in proportion to votes received.
One Round The election is decided in a single round of voting.
Free Elections are free, fair and competitive.
