This was the first direct election to parliament.
Electoral system
The Flanders region comprised eleven constituencies. The number of MPs per constituency was proportional to the number of inhabitants, determined in a royal decree of October 15, 1993. If the province formed a single constituency, the seats were distributed proportionally according to the D'Hondt method .
If there were several constituencies in the province, the following procedure applied: First, the lists in the individual constituencies were given a seat for each full hare quota . The remaining seats were allocated at the provincial level in such a way that the seats were distributed proportionally to the parties within the province after the D'Hondt procedure , and these seats allocated at the provincial level were assigned to the individual constituencies in a complicated process. To participate in the distribution of seats, the party's number of votes in at least one constituency of the province had to be at least 66% of the Hare quota.
