Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 3 June 1934, electing 29 of the 54 seats in the Chamber of Deputies in the south and east of the country.[1] [2] The Party of the Right won 12 of the 29 seats, but saw its total number of seats fall from 26 to 25.[2]

The Communist Party of Luxembourg won its first seat, but it was later invalidated by a vote in the Chamber of Deputies. Its seat was given instead to the Luxembourg Workers' Party, who had voted against its expulsion.[2]
