Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 17 December 1868, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies. The elections took place in Capellen, Clervaux, Diekirch, Echternach, Luxembourg-Campagne, Mersch, Redange, Remich.[1][2][3][4]
Background
editThe law of 30 November 1868 and the Grand-Ducal decree of 2 December 1868 increased the number of Deputies from the constituencies of Capellen, Clervaux, Diekirch, Echternach, Luxembourg-Campagne, Mersch, Redange, and Remich. As a result, the 1868 elections were organised to elect 2 Deputies in Luxembourg-Campagne and 1 Deputy in each of the other cantons mentioned.[1]
