Indirect Constitutional Assembly elections were held in Luxembourg on 28 July and 4 August 1918.[1] The Party of the Right emerged as the largest party, winning 23 of the 53 seats.[2] The Assembly was tasked with revising the constitution to democratise the country's political structure.[1] The amendments were promulgated on 15 May 1919, introducing proportional representation and the option of holding referendums.[1]
