Draft:2023 Luxembourg communal elections

The 2023 Luxembourg communal elections were held on 11 June to elect the communal councils of the 100 municipalities of Luxembourg. The last communal elections were held in 2017.

Electoral system
Luxembourg citizens aged over 18 and living in the country will be able to vote. Citizens from any EU country can vote if they are registered on the electoral list, the requirements for which are to have lived in Luxembourg for at least 5 years and to be living in Luxembourg during the election. Citizens from any other country can vote subject to the same requirements as for EU citizens, plus the requirement of holding valid visa or residence permit.

The number of seats in each communal council is determined by the population of the commune. The population-seat ratio on each communal council is established on the following scale:

Plurality-at-large voting will be used in the 46 municipalities with a population of under 2,999 inhabitants. In the 56 municipalities with a population of over 3,000 inhabitants, proportional representation with open lists will be used. Voters will be able to vote for a party list or cast multiple votes for as many candidates as there are seats. Seat allocation was calculated in accordance with the Hagenbach-Bischoff quota.

On 1 September 2023, 4 municipalities will be merged and 2 new municipalities will be created as a result. The councillors will be elected in different constituencies, which correspond to the old boundaries.
