@SPQRobin and Andreas Philopater: The article now has contradictory information on the number of constituencies – is it 43 or 44? Cheers, Number 57 21:09, 30 October 2019 (UTC)
- My (sourced) list comes out at 44. Is that WP:SYNTH? What's the source for 43? --Andreas Philopater (talk) 16:19, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- The information was added without a source by SPQRobin. Number 57 17:36, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
- It is indeed 44 as far as I see. I probably miscounted back then. Thanks for adding the list (though a table format might be more appropriate, as I've done for other election articles). SPQRobin (talk) 20:05, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
- @SPQRobin and Andreas Philopater: Thanks for your responses. I have tabluraised the information. Could you double check I have the Province of Luxembourg seats right? I was slightly confused by the wording, which suggested there was another Senator elected by a mixture of the constituencies (except Luxembourg), but that would have added up to 52 Senators.

@Number 57: Thanks for the table. I've tweaked it a bit to bring it into line with the source (which I might not have fully grasped the details of at my previous reading). It wasn't just senators but even in some constituencies representatives that were elected on an turn-by-turn basis. Very curious system. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 11:15, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
- And then had to do a double-take over Luxembourg anyway, because as you say it was all the constituencies except Luxembourg itself that alternated for the extra senator. --Andreas Philopater (talk) 11:20, 10 November 2019 (UTC)
