§ 1. The House of Representatives is composed of one hundred and fifty members.

§ 2. The number of seats in each electoral district corresponds to the re-sult of dividing the number of inhabitants of the electoral district by the fed-eral divisor, which is obtained by dividing the number of the population of the Kingdom by one hundred and fifty.
The remaining seats are assigned to the electoral districts with the great-est surplus of population not yet represented.

§ 3. The distribution of the members of the House of Representatives among the electoral districts is determined by the King in proportion to the population.
The number of inhabitants in each electoral district is established every ten years by a census or by any other means defined by the law. The King publishes the results within six months.
Within three months of this publication, the King determines the number of seats to be assigned to each electoral district.
The new distribution is applied as of the following general election.

§ 4. The law determines the electoral districts; it also determines the con-ditions required to be an elector as well as the way in which elections are conducted.
However, the law determines special rules with a view to protecting the legitimate interests of French and Dutch-speaking people in the former prov-ince of Brabant.
The provisions which establish these special rules may only be amended by a law passed by a majority as described in Article 4, last paragraph.
