General elections were held in Belgium on 29 August 1831.[1] They were the first elections to the new bicameral parliament created by the constitution adopted in February 1831.
In the Senate elections Catholics won 31 seats and Liberals four.[1] Voter turnout was 62.2%, although only 46,000 people (1.1% of the country's population) were eligible to vote.[1]
On 8 September 1831, King Leopold I of Belgium opened the 1831–1832 parliamentary session, the first ever of the Belgian Parliament.[2]
