Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 14 June 1881, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies. The elections took place in Capellen, Clervaux, Diekirch, Esch-sur-Alzette, Grevenmacher, Luxembourg-Ville, Redange, and Vianden. [1] [2]
Under the election law at the time, any second-round run-off votes took place on the same day as the first round.
After the election results were reported, the newspaper L'indépendance luxembourgeoise declared that the Chamber of Deputies now consisted of 26 liberals, nine conservative liberals and seven extreme clericals (Knepper, Theisen, Breisdorff, Fallize, Jacques, Cariers and De la Fontaine). [3]
In November 1881 the Chamber refused to validate the election of the Vianden candidate, François Berger, as he had not been domiciled in Luxembourg at the time of the election as required; a by-election was subsequently organised for 7 December. [4] [5] [6] In the by-election, Hess received 29 votes, Schaack 26, Berger 11 and Kimmer 11, with 79 votes cast. Schaack won the subsequent run-off vote against Hess, and was elected. [7]
