1875 Luxembourg general election
Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 9 June 1875, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies. The elections took place in Capellen, Clervaux, Diekirch, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg City, Redange, and Vianden.[1][2]
Results
[edit]Candidates who were successful are in bold.
The electoral system provided for run-off votes, but in this case all successful candidates were elected after only one round with an absolute majority.

Aftermath
[edit]A by-election in Grevenmacher was soon organised for 27 July, as Victor Schoren, one of the Grevenmacher Deputies, had been appointed commissioner of the district of Grevenmacher.[3]
Another by-election had to be organised for Vianden, as Adolphe Pauly soon resigned; the election date was set for 15 November. This resulted in the election of Camille Dumont, who was supported by the Blochausen government.[4]
