Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 29 May 1904. [1] The result was a victory for the Catholic Party, which won 38 of the 81 seats in the Chamber of Representatives. [2]
Under the alternating system, Chamber elections were only held in the provinces of Hainaut, Limburg, Liège and East Flanders and Senate elections were only held in the remaining five provinces, being Antwerp, Brabant, Luxembourg, Namur and West Flanders.
