Source-derived summary

Limburg is a parliamentary constituency in Belgium used to elect members of the Flemish Parliament since 2004. It corresponds to the province of Limburg.

Article 26 of the Special Law on Institutional Reform of 1980 gives the Flemish Parliament itself the authority to define its electoral districts by decree. The arrondissemental constituencies were replaced by provincial ones by Special Decree of 30 January 2004. This and related provisions were coordinated into the Special Decree of 7 July 2006.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—2004, 1980, 2006—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Limburg, Flemish and Parliament providing the first useful test.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
