The legislative elections in Belgium take place every four years, out possible anticipated elections. The purpose of they are to elect the representatives with Chambre of the Representatives of Belgium as well as part of those with the Belgian Sénat.
In fact the elections name the representatives on the national level of the Belgian federal state. One also calls them, since the federalisation, the federal elections.
Because, on the one hand, system Proportional and, on the other hand, linguistic differentiation of the parties, the governments in Belgium are formed only in coalition parties, none of those not being able to claim to join together only a political and linguistic national majority. There is thus no clear polarization of the Belgian political life.
The last legislative elections in Belgium took place the June 10th 2007.

With the Canada, the legislative elections, as much at the level federal that provincial, are called general elections (in opposition to the bys-election, which are used to fill the holidays between the general elections). Under the article 4 of the '' Canadian Charte of the rights and freedoms '' (which belongs to the Constitution of Canada), the elections must obligatorily take place at least once every five years in the legislatures federal and provincial. At the federal level, the deputies are elected with the House of Commons of Canada to the majority Uninominal system with a turn in the 308 electoral constituencies of the country.
Elections of the various governments, although all controls by article 4 of the Charter , proceed independently from/to each other. Each province has a legislative assembled , composed of a number of deputies which varies from one province to another, and fixes its own laws to govern the elections. Although the majority uninominal system with a turn is currently the rule in all the provinces, various projects are in hand aiming at reforming the way of voting in certain provinces, in particular in Colombia-British.

In France, it is during the legislative elections that are elected the Député S of the National Assembly. It is the Electoral code which fixes the rules.
They take place by the majority uninominal universal direct suffrage with two turns, in the electoral constituencies (Article L123 and L124). Thus, each district elects a deputy. There are 577 districts in France, but a new electoral cutting is under discussion. As there is an election by district, it should be said that are organized legislative elections in France.
The minimum age to arise to these elections is 23 years (Article LO127). Several types of civils servant cannot arise in a district on which they exert, like certain elected officials (Article LO131, L0133 and LO134).
If a candidate obtains the absolute majority as of the first turn it is elected, if not the second turn is organized one week later. To be present there, it is necessary to have obtained at least 12,5% of the registered voters to the first L162 turn, modified by Ordonnance n°2003-1165 of December 8th, 2003 Article 15 (JORF December 9th, 2003).
If only one candidate meets these conditions, the candidate having obtained after this one the greatest number of votes to the first turn can be maintained to the second. If no candidate meets these conditions, the two candidates having obtained the greatest number of votes to the first turn can be maintained to the second.
It arrives as sometimes as the second turn is even presented in the form of a triangular of a quadrangular , where it remains, respectively, three or four candidates. The winner of the second turn is that which obtained the most voice.
The term of the office of a deputy (the legislature) is five years but can be shortened in the event of dissolution of the National Assembly.
