Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 8 June 1880.[1] [2] In the elections for the Chamber of Representatives the result was a victory for the Liberal Party, which won 74 of the 132 seats.[2] Voter turnout was 67.2%, although only 62,936 people were eligible to vote.
Under the alternating system, elections were only held in five out of the nine provinces: Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur and West Flanders.
A special election was held on 21 August 1880 to elect a representative for the arrondissement of Oudenaarde following the death of Auguste Devos on 21 July 1880. Florent De Bleeckere was elected to succeed him.
