Everything about Arrondissements Of Belgium totally explained
The federalized country
Belgium geographically consists of 3 regions, of which only
Flanders (= the Flemish Region) and
Wallonia (= the Walloon Region) are subdivided into 5
provinces each; the
Brussels-Capital Region is neither a province nor is it part of one.
In
Belgium there are administrative, judicial and electoral arrondissements. These may or may not relate to identical geographical areas.
Administrative
The 43 administrative arrondissements are an administrative level between the
municipalities and the provinces. Brussels-Capital forms a single arrondissement for all 19 municipalities in the region by that name. Per region an overview of its municipalities (
gemeenten/communes) and the district or administrative arrondissement these belong to can be found in the
Municipalities in Belgium page; for these administrative arrondissements also more technical references are available.
Judicial
Belgium has 27 judicial arrondissements.

Electoral
Until a short while ago the
electoral circles for the parliaments were
electoral arrondissements; at present these circles are the
provinces, except for the arrondissements
Brussels-Capital (geographically coinciding with the
Brussels-Capital Region) and
Halle-Vilvoorde (one of the two districts in the province
Flemish Brabant in the Flemish region), which together still form the electoral circle
Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde (in
Dutch kieskring Brussel-Halle-Vilvoorde, in
French cercle or
circonscription électoral Bruxelles-Hal-Vilvorde).
For the elections of the Walloon Parliament, 13 arrondissements (or grouped arrondissements) are still being used as electoral circles:
