1890 Luxembourg general election

Partial general elections were held in Luxembourg on 10 June 1893, electing members of the Chamber of Deputies. The elections took place in Echternach, Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg-Campagne, Mersch, Remich, and Wiltz.

Under the election law at the time, any second-round run-off votes took place on the same day as the first round.[1][2][3]

The elections saw the failure of the anti-clerical side's Brasseur and Laval to secure seats, while in the clerical bloc, Knaff and Wolter were defeated; many of the clerical side's new candidates also failed to secure election.[1]
