“Na de boskaart en het Beleidsplan Ruimte Vlaanderen gaat nu ook de betonstop de prullenmand in. Meer open ruimte en meer bos zijn nochtans cruciaal voor de aanpak van CO2 en voor de levenskwaliteit van onze bevolking.

The 2019 Belgian regional elections will take place on Sunday 26 May, the same day as the 2019 European Parliament election as well as the Belgian federal election unless snap federal elections are called.
In the regional elections, new representatives will be chosen for the Flemish Parliament, Walloon Parliament, Brussels Parliament and the Parliament of the German-speaking Community. The Parliament of the French Community will be composed of all elected members of the Walloon Parliament (except German-speaking members) and 19 of the French-speaking members of the Brussels Parliament.
The elections will follow the 2014 elections and will be shortly after the 2018 local elections, which will be indicating voters' tendencies after an unusually long period of time without any elections in Belgium.
Electoral system
The regional parliaments have limited power over their own election; federal law largely regulates this and the federal government organises the elections, which occur per Article 117 of the Constitution on the same day as the European Parliament elections.
As such, all regional parliaments are elected using proportional representation under the D'Hondt method. Only Belgian citizens in Belgium have the right to vote, and voting is mandatory for them. Belgians living abroad are allowed to vote in European and federal elections, but not in regional elections.
The following timetable is fixed for the simultaneous European, federal and regional elections:
| 26 January 2019 | Start of the "waiting period" (sperperiode) running until the day of the election, during which political propaganda and expenses are strictly regulated |
| 1 March 2019 | The electoral roll is fixed by municipal authorities |
| 11 May 2019 | Final day for the official announcement of the election and the convocation letter to voters |
| 26 May 2019 | Polling day (from 8am until 2pm, or until 4pm where voting is done electronically) |
Flemish Parliament
Template:Infobox election thumb|300px|Number of seats per constituency in Flanders All 124 members of the Flemish Parliament will be elected. The five Flemish provinces (West Flanders, East Flanders, Antwerp, Flemish Brabant and Limburg) each are a constituency, plus the Brussels-Capital Region where those voting for a Dutch-language party can also vote in the Flemish election.
The incumbent Bourgeois Government is made up of a coalition of Flemish nationalists (N-VA), Christian democrats (CD&V) and liberals (Open Vld). The incumbent Minister-President is Geert Bourgeois (N-VA). The three-party centre-right government coalition has a comfortable majority.
In the October 2018 local elections, no major shifts occurred, although N-VA and sp.a lost some support while Vlaams Belang and Groen generally gained votes. CD&V and Open Vld remained stable.
Incumbent Minister-President Bourgois (N-VA) will contend in the simultaneous European Parliament elections; N-VA president Bart De Wever (N-VA) is their party's candidate to succeed him as head of the Flemish Government.
