Partial legislative elections were held inBelgium on Tuesday 8 June 1841 in which 48 of the 95 seats in theChamber of Representatives were elected.[1] Voter turnout was 77.0%, although only 24,887 people were eligible to vote.[1] Under the alternating system, elections were only held in five out of the nine provinces:Antwerp,Brabant,Luxembourg,Namur andWest Flanders.
The number of seats in the Chamber decreased from 98 to 95 following the 1839 independence of theGrand Duchy of Luxembourg; its three districts (Luxembourg,Grevenmacher andDiekirch) had one representative each.
TheLebeau Government, the first homogeneously Liberal government, resigned shortly before the elections. The unionistNothomb Government took over on 13 April 1841.
