Candidates who were successful are
in bold.
The electoral system provided for run-off votes, but in this case all successful candidates were elected after only one round with an absolute majority.

Aftermath

A by-election in Grevenmacher was soon organised for 27 July, as Victor Schoren, one of the Grevenmacher Deputies, had been appointed commissioner of the district of Grevenmacher.

Another by-election had to be organised for Vianden, as Adolphe Pauly soon resigned; the election date was set for 15 November. This resulted in the election of Camille Dumont, who was supported by the Blochausen government.
