Arrondissements of Belgium

Arrondissements of Belgium are subdivisions below the provinces of Belgium. There are administrative, judicial and electoral arrondissements. These may or may not relate to identical geographical areas.

Belgium, a federalized state, geographically consists of 3 regions, of which only the Flemish Region and the Walloon Region are subdivided into five provinces each; the Brussels-Capital Region is neither a province nor is it part of one.

The 43 administrative arrondissements are an administrative level between the municipalities and the provinces. Brussels-Capital forms a single arrondissement for all 19 municipalities in the region by that name.

Belgium had 27 judicial arrondissements until April 1, 2014.^[1]

Electoral

Until 1999 (inclusive) the electoral districts for the election of the parliaments were electoral arrondissements; at present these are the ten provinces. The arrondissement of Brussels-Capital (geographically coinciding with the Brussels-Capital Region) is not part of any province and consequently forms its own electoral district.

For the elections of the Walloon Parliament, 13 arrondissements (or grouped arrondissements) are still being used as electoral circles:

• Arlon – Marche-en-Famenne – Bastogne
• Mons
• Charleroi
• Dinant – Philippeville
• Tournai – Ath – Mouscron
• Huy – Waremme
• Liège
• Namur
• Neufchâteau – Virton
• Nivelles
• Thuin
• Verviers
• Soignies
