The constituencies for the Chamber of Representatives are set by Article 87 of the Electoral Code of 1894. The constituency of Brussels-Capital was created by modification of 19 July 2012 as part of the sixth Belgian state reform, splitting the Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde constituency.
As Brussels is an officially bilingual area, members elected in this constituency are the only ones who may choose which parliamentary language group they belong to – Dutch or French. In practice, no Flemish party receives enough votes to have any elected members, so all 15 members are French-speaking.
