Only Luxembourgish citizens may vote in general elections. A proposal to extend voting rights to foreigners who have lived in Luxembourg for at least ten years and have previously voted in a European or local election in Luxembourg, was rejected in a 2015 referendum. Voting is mandatory for eligible Luxembourg citizens who live in Luxembourg and are under 75 years of age.[5] Luxembourg citizens who live abroad may vote by post at the commune in which they most recently lived in Luxembourg.[6] Luxembourg citizens who were born in Luxembourg but have never lived there may vote by post at the commune in which they were born.[6] Luxembourg citizens who were not born in Luxembourg and have never lived there may vote by post at the commune of Luxembourg City.[6]

Government formation
On 9 October 2023 Grand Duke Henri appointed Luc Frieden as government formateur with the intention that Frieden would become the next Prime Minister. The CSV leader began negotiations with outgoing Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and his DP. Bettel expressed his willingness to participate in government, though not as Prime Minister.[17]
On 13 November Frieden announced a coalition agreement between the CSV and DP. Bettel led the DP's delegation to coalition negotiations, while the CSV delegation was led by party president Claude Wiseler.[18] Frieden stated that he expected to take office by the end of the week following the announcement.[19] The new cabinet was sworn in by the Grand Duke and Frieden assumed the office of Prime Minister on 17 November.[20]
