The Chamber of Representatives ( Dutch: , french: link=no, Chambre des représentants, german: link=no, Abgeordnetenkammer) is one of the two chambers in the bicameral Federal Parliament of Belgium, the other being the Senate.

Belgian General Election, 1900
Full general elections were held in Belgium on 27 May 1900. They were the first elections under a proportional system (using the D'Hondt method) instead of a majority system. Belgium became the first country to adopt proportional representation as basis of its electoral system. To make the system possible, smaller electoral districts (arrondissements) were grouped into a single electoral district (a group of arrondissements). The introduction of proportional representation was beneficial to the Liberal Party, which significantly increased its number of seats. The Liberal Party previously suffered losses after the introduction of universal suffrage in 1894. The Catholic Party thus lost seats but retained its absolute majority, with 86 of the 152 seats in the Chamber of Representatives and 44 of the 76 seats in the Senate.

The elections followed several major reforms: they were the first held under universal male suffrage for those over the age of 25.Nohlen & Stöver, p272 This followed the abolition of tax qualifications, and increased the number of voters tenfold.

A government led by Jules de Burlet took over in March 1894. The result was a victory for the Catholic Party, which won all seats in every Flemish arrondissement, in Brussels and in seven rural Walloon arrondissements, giving a total of 104 of the 152 seats in the Chamber of Rep ...
