Dutch-speaking electoral college

The Dutch-speaking electoral college is one of three constituencies of the European Parliament in Belgium.

It currently elects 13 MEPs using the D'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation.

The constituency generally corresponds to the Flemish Community of Belgium, and is sometimes called the Flemish-speaking electoral college.

Prior to the 2011–2012 state reform, voters could choose between both lists not only in Brussels, but in an area encompassing unilingually Dutch territory, Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde; some towns in the officially Dutch-speaking Brussels Periphery still have this option.

This was the case, for example, for Johan Van Overtveldt, who resigned to become Minister of Finance on 14 October 2014 and was replaced by Sander Loones.
