The 2024 Belgian regional elections were held on Sunday 9 June, the same day as the 2024 European Parliament election[1] as well as the Belgian federal election.
In the regional elections, new representatives are chosen for the Flemish Parliament, Walloon Parliament, Brussels Parliament and the Parliament of the German-speaking Community. The Parliament of the French Community is composed of all elected members of the Walloon Parliament (German-speaking members are replaced) and 19 of the French-speaking members of the Brussels Parliament.
The regional parliaments have limited power over their own election; federal law largely regulates this and the federal government organises the elections, which occur per Article 117 of the Constitution on the same day as the European Parliament elections.
As such, all regional parliaments are elected using proportional representation under the D'Hondt method.

124 members of the Flemish Parliament will be elected. The five Flemish provinces (West Flanders, East Flanders, Antwerp, Flemish Brabant and Limburg) each were a constituency, plus the Brussels-Capital Region where those voting for a Dutch-language party could also vote in the Flemish election.
Every ten years, the 124 seats are reallocated among the six constituencies on the basis of population data. The Flemish Parliament approved the new distribution in December 2022, which removed a seat in West Flanders in favour of an extra seat in Flemish Brabant.[2]
The incumbent government is made up of a coalition of Flemish nationalists (N-VA), Christian democrats (CD&V) and liberals (Open Vld).
The following candidates are the first on the respective party list (lijsttrekker) per constituency.
