The constituencies for the Chamber of Representatives are set by Article 87 of the Electoral Code of 1894.[1] The number of representatives per constituency is set every ten years based on population numbers. The current distribution of representatives is set by royal order of 31 January 2013.[2] The Hainaut constituency lost one seat as a result of slower population growth compared to the rest of the country.
