Under the alternating system, Chamber elections were only held in the provinces of Hainaut, Limburg, Liège and East Flanders and Senate elections were only held in the remaining five provinces, being Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur and West Flanders.
The main issue in the election was "the hostility of the Liberals to the growth of clerical influence, particularly in educational and political affairs."[3]
