Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 30 July 1860, electing 15 members of the Assembly of Estates. The elections took place in Echternach, Esch-sur-Alzette, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg-Campagne, Mersch, Redange, Remich, and Wiltz.[1][2][3]
Background and electoral system
At the time, Luxembourg elected legislators to six-year terms; there were elections every three years, at which half the Assembly of Estates (the legislature) was up for election at a time. Different cantons were grouped together for this purpose.
Grevenmacher and Redange cantons were not originally scheduled to hold elections in 1860. The elections held there were by-elections, as the Assembly members Wellenstein and Bassing had resigned their mandates and had to be replaced; the elections in these cantons were also scheduled for 30 July, like the other cantons.
