description Elections are at the centre of the democratic process. This article intends to study the democratic representation through the residence places of candidates of the main parties inside the Belgian Brussels-capital Region on two main perspectives. First, we raise the question of democratic representativeness, notably when it concerns local representatives entitled to take decisions concerning districts. Indeed, the socio-geographic selection of the candidates and elected representatives is very strong. Second, this socio-geographic selection also enables us to compare the profile of the different parties. These socio-geographic profiles reflect the socio-political recompositions in the middle classes, for example the differentiation between high middle classes parties (Christian-democrats and liberal parties) and intellectual middle classes parties (Socialist and green parties).
