The next elections in Luxembourg will take place on June 9th, 2024.

Voting for Luxembourg citizens living abroad is optional.

If you make the personal choice to vote, we believe that it’s important to inform yourself about Luxembourg’s elections & democracy. We’ve created this page to help guide you.

Luxembourg has three types of elections

• Municipal – Once every six years (June 2023)

• Legislative – Once every five years (October 2023)

• European – Once every five years (June 2024)

Citizens living outside of Luxembourg have the right to request an absentee ballot for the Legislative and European elections.

Who is eligible to vote?

• You have received proof of possessing Luxembourgish citizenship

• You possess a Luxembourgish passport or ID Card

• You are over 18 years of age*

*Turning 18 soon? To vote in June’s election, you must turn 18 by 4/30/24 to register to vote before the final deadline.

Who am I voting for?

The purpose of the European election is to elect Luxembourg’s six Members of the European Parliament, the legislative body of the European Union.

• The European Parliament is based in Brussels as well as Luxembourg and Strasbourg (France)

• Type: Unicameral parliament

• Representatives: 705 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) for all 27 member states

MEPs are allocated proportionately to the population of each of the 27 member states of the European Union. Due to its small size, Luxembourg has the minimum number of MEPs per member state, which is six. On the other hand, France has 79.

Where do I vote?

Although Luxembourg is split into 4 electoral divisions for national elections, there are no geographic divisions in Luxembourg’s European elections. All candidates are national candidates.

Normally, each party will have six candidates. You can vote for all the 6 candidates from a party or you can select six candidates from different parties.

If you have never lived in Luxembourg, you are eligible to register to vote via absentee ballot in Luxembourg City.

If you have already lived in Luxembourg, you must vote in your Commune of Residence or the Commune where you last resided in Luxembourg.
