Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on Tuesday 10 June 1884, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies. The elections took place in Echternach, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg-Campagne, Mersch, Remich, and Wiltz.[1][2][3]

Results[edit]

Under the election law at the time, any second-round run-off votes took place on the same day as the first round.

Candidates who were successful are in bold.

The results did not alter the balance of power in the Chamber: liberals continued to hold the majority.[4] The newspaper L'indépendance luxembourgeoise classified the Deputies elected on 10 June as:[4]

  • 13 liberals
  • 5 liberal-conservatives
  • 5 moderate clericals
  • 1 clerical
