Circonscription Nord (Luxembourg)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Circonscription Nord is an electoral constituency for Luxembourg's national legislature, the Chamber of Deputies.

It includes the cantons of Clervaux, Diekirch, Redange, Vianden, and Wiltz. Its boundaries are coterminous with those of the district of Diekirch. As of 2005, Nord has an estimated population of 70,826, or 16% of Luxembourg's total population.

Nord currently elects 9 deputies. Under Luxembourg's electoral system, which is a form of the Hagenbach-Bischoff System, that means that each voter can cast votes for up to 9 different candidates. Voting in Luxembourg is compulsory. Together, these two factors mean that there are far more votes cast than there are members of the electorate.
