Distribution of seats in the Flemish Parliament
      
A total of 123 seats

The 2014 Flemish parliamentary election took place on May 25, 2014 at the same time as the national parliamentary elections and the European elections. The Flemish Parliament is also the Parliament of the Flemish Community and the Flemish Region . Of the 124 MPs, 118 are elected in the Flanders region and six in the Brussels-Capital region .

Electoral system

Constituencies with seat numbers

The five provinces make up the constituencies within the Flanders region:

The six Brussels MEPs are elected in Brussels by those voters who voted for a Dutch-language list or blank in the election of the Parliament of the Brussels-Capital Region.

Each voter can choose a list by either choosing the list as a whole or by giving any number of applicants a preference vote within a list. The seats are distributed proportionally to the lists within the constituencies according to the D'Hondt procedure , which account for at least 5% of the valid votes in the constituency.

Starting position

In the 2009 election of the Flemish Parliament, the Christian Democrats ( CD&V ) were again the strongest party. Kris Peeters (CD&V) remained Prime Minister and led a coalition of CD&V, socialists ( sp.a ) and the nationalist-conservative N-VA throughout the electoral term

Parties and candidates

The participating parties essentially corresponded to those in the simultaneous election of the Belgian parliament. A special feature was the UF as a list of the francophone population in the Brussels area, which only appeared in Flemish Brabant. The LDD party , which won eight seats in the previous election, no longer stood because of poor poll results.
