Elections were held on 11 June[4] and 8 October 2023[a] to elect members of the 102[b] communal councils of Luxembourg.

Background

[edit]

Previous election

[edit]

Previous elections were held in 2017, in which the centre-right Christian Social People's Party (CSV) won a majority of the seats, obtaining 209 out of the 600 possible seats. The CSV was the only party that ran candidates in every commune that used a proportional representation system. Shortly after the election, chairman Laurent Zeimet expressed a willingness to form coalitions in communes with the Democratic Party, The Greens, and the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party.[6]

Electoral system

[edit]

Communal elections in Luxembourg are held every six years.[7] Any commune with a population of over three thousand uses a proportional representation system, otherwise a plurality system is used.[8] 56 communes voted using proportional representation and 46 used a plurality system during this election;[9] ten communes first used the former: Beaufort, Bettendorf, Esch-sur-Sûre, Helperknapp, Lintgen, Parc Hosingen, Redange-sur-Attert, Rosport-Mompach, Schengen, and Wormeldange.[10]

After the elections were held, two communes were formed: Grosbous and Wahl merged to make Groussbus-Wal, and Bous and Waldbredimus merged to make Bous-Waldbredimus.[5]

Results and campaign

[edit]

Taina Bofferding, then-Minister of the Interior, confirmed the date for the next communal elections, 11 June 2023, in September 2021.[11] The filing deadline for candidacy was on 12 April 2023.[9][12]

11 June elections

[edit]

Across southern Luxembourg, the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party and the Christian Social People's Party won several councils, while The Greens suffered major losses.[13]

8 October elections

[edit]

Three communes held their elections on 8 October: Beaufort, Berdorf, and Nommern.[3]

Beaufort originally held their elections on 11 June, however the results were cancelled because one of the candidates, Dario Ballanti, was not registered in the commune.[2] Elections were held again on 8 October.[14]

Elections in Berdorf were postponed for 8 October after the death of councillor Carlo Bentner, who was running for re-election.[1]

The June elections in Nommern were cancelled and rescheduled to 8 October due to an insufficient number of candidates.[3]
