| dbo:abstract |
Senate elections were held in Belgium on 27 September 1851. The snap elections (solely for the Senate) were called by Royal Order on 4 September, due to a lack of support among the wealthy senators for the introduction of an inheritance tax pushed for by the liberal Minister of Finance Walthère Frère-Orban. The Liberal Party and Catholics won 27 seats each. Voter turnout was 64.0%, although only 79,296 people (1.8% of the population) were eligible to vote. (en) Volledige verkiezingen voor de Senaat vonden plaats in België op dinsdag 27 september 1851. Normaliter vonden er pas in juni 1852 verkiezingen plaats, maar bij koninklijk besluit van 4 september 1851 werd de Senaat volledig vernieuwd. (nl) |
