The 24 November 1991 Belgian general elections was a Belgian election for the Belgian Chamber of Representatives and Belgian Senate. The results represented a big loss for the majority parties (Christian democrats and Socialists). The Vlaams Blok on the other hand had a very big gain; the day became known as "black Sunday" due to the rise of the far-right party.
These were the last elections before the new 1993 Belgian Constitution, which turned Belgium formally into a federal state: after this election, the number of MPs were reduced while the regional parliaments would become directly elected. The provincial elections would no longer coincide with national elections, but with municipal elections.
