The elections were the general elections held after the Bech-Bodson government changed the electoral system. Previously, partial elections were held every three years in which half the seats in the Chamber were elected, with deputies serving six-year terms. The changes reduced deputies' terms to five years, with all seats elected at the same time.

The government, a coalition of the Christian Social People's Party (CSV), and the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party, remained in power following the elections.
