Luxembourg voters will be called to the polls on Sunday 8 October to choose their next MPs. Here is a summary of the official lists, by constituency and by party, published by the government on Tuesday 22 August.
The numbers of the 12 parties in the running were allocated in a draw. As the Mir d’Vollek party did not submit a list for the parliamentary elections, the number allocated to it in the draw in April for the local elections--number 8--was not reallocated. This is why there’s a list number 13, despite the fact that only 12 parties submitted lists.
In the Centre
Ten parties each presented 21 candidates in the centre. 
Franz Fayot and 
Francine Closener have been appointed regional list leaders for the LSAP. The DP candidates are 
Xavier Bettel and 
Yuriko Backes. For Déi Gréng, 
Sam Tanson and 
François Bausch. For the CSV, 
Luc Frieden and 
Elisabeth Margue. For déi Lénk, 
David Wagner and Ana Correia Da Veiga. Tom Weidig and 
Alex Penning head the ADR list. The Piratepartei has Mandy Arendt and 
Sven Clement. 
Frank Engel has been appointed to represent Fokus in the Centre. Alain Herman is at the top of the KPL list for the Centre and 
Roy Reding for his newly created party, Liberté - Fräiheet!
In the East
Voters will have a choice of 11 parties in the East. Each party is fielding seven candidates, except Volt, which has three, with Fiona Godfrey at the top of the list. 
Paulette Lenert and Ben Streff head the LSAP list. 
Lex Delles and 
Carole Hartmann for the DP. 
Henri Kox and 
Chantal Gary for déi Gréng. 
Léon Gloden and Max Hengel for the CSV. Laurent Fisch and Adela Fuentes appear at the top of the list for déi Lénk. Alexandra Schoos and Robi Beissel head the ADR list. Daniel Frères and Angie Bisenius head the Piratepartei list. Jacques Linster has been nominated for Fokus. Finally, Wilhelm Haas and Patrick Mischel head the KPL and Liberté - Fräiheet! lists respectively.
In the North
There are 10 lists of nine candidates for the North. 
Claude Haagen and Flore Schank head the list for the LSAP, 
Fernand Etgen and 
Marc Hansen for the DP, 
Claude Turmes and 
Stéphanie Empain for déi Gréng, 
Martine Hansen and 
Christophe Hansen for the CSV. The déi Lénk candidates have decided not to appoint a list leader. Jeff Engelen and Michel Lemaire head the ADR list, while Ben Polidori and Céline Achhammer head the Piratepartei list. Anne Winter represents Fokus. Carole Dentzer and Steve Schmitz head the Liberté - Fräiheet! list, while Serge Closter and Svenja Defays head the déi Konservativ list.
In the South
Twelve parties are each presenting 23 candidates in the South. 
Jean Asselborn and 
Taina Bofferding head the LSAP list. 
Claude Meisch and 
Max Hahn head the DP list. 
Joëlle Welfring and 
Meris Sehovic head the déi Gréng list. 
Gilles Roth and 
Georges Mischo will head the CSV list. déi Lénk has nominated four heads of list in the region: 
Marc Baum, Carole Thoma, Gary Diderich and Line Wies. 
Fred Keup and 
Fernand Kartheiser will head the ADR list. 
Marc Goergen and Morgan Engel for the Piratepartei. Luc Majerus for Fokus. At the top of the Volt list are Elisa Hippert and Becci-Sue Schmitz. Ali Ruckert and Dzenana Adrovic top the KPL list, Giovanni Patri and Perrine Felix top the Liberté - Fräiheet! list, and Roy Holzem and Joe Thein top the déi Konservativ list.
It should be noted that some parties have also appointed national heads of list. Luc Frieden represents the CSV at national level. “The appointment of list leaders is defined in the statutes. It is up to the various party committees to initiate the necessary procedures, both for the national head of list and for the regional heads of list. The final vote is taken by the CSV delegates at the national convention,” he explains to Delano’s sister publication Paperjam. “The role of a head of list is, in a way, to be the leader of the candidates on the regional list at certain times.”
The LSAP has nominated Paulette Lenert. Sam Tanson has been put forward to represent déi Gréng, and Fred Keup for the ADR. Frank Engel has been nominated to head the Fokus list in 2022.
