The constituency corresponds to the
French Community of Belgium. In officially bilingual
Brussels, electors can choose between lists of this electoral college or those of the
Dutch-speaking electoral college. In the rest of the country, voters vote according to the region in which they reside. Prior to the
2011–2012 state reform, electors could choose between both lists not only in Brussels, but in an area encompassing unilingually Dutch territory,
Brussels-Halle-Vilvoorde. Some towns in the officially Dutch-speaking
Brussels Periphery still have this option however. ==Members of the European Parliament==
