The Belgian provincial, municipal and district elections of 2000 took place on Sunday October 8, 2000. The electors elected the municipal councillors of 589 cities and towns (308 in the
Flemish Region, 262 in the
Walloon Region and 19 in the
Brussels-Capital Region) as well as the ten provincial councils. Additionally, the newly established
district councils in the city of Antwerp were elected for the first time.
Newly elected councillors took office in January 2001, with a six-year term ending in 2007. The next
local elections took place on October 8, 2006.
Soon after this election, the federal government
under Verhofstadt transferred the responsibility over local government to the three regional governments, including the responsibility of organising local elections.
