Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 13 June 1854.[1][2] In the elections for the Chamber of Representatives the Liberal Party and the Catholics won 54 seats each.[2] Voter turnout was 61%, although only 45,884 people were eligible to vote.
Under the alternating system, elections were only held in five out of the nine provinces: Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur, and West Flanders.
