context_page_description: Elections in Luxembourg are held to determine the political composition of the representative institutions of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Luxembourg is a liberal representative democracy, with universal suffrage guaranteed under the constitution. Elections are held regularly, and are considered to be fair and free.
  Separate elections are held to elect representatives at communal, national, and European levels. The main institution to which members are elected is the Chamber of Deputies, the national legislature and the sole source of membership, confidence, and supply of the government. Luxembourg is represented by six MEPs to the European Parliament, who are elected simultaneously with elections held in other European Union member states.
  The country has a multi-party system, traditionally defined by the existence of three large political parties: the Christian Social People's Party, the Democratic Party, and the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party.
context_section_description: To be eligible to vote in elections to the Chamber of Deputies, one must fulfil the following criteria:
  One must be a Luxembourgish citizen.
