The CSV (orange) won most of the countryside, whilst the LSAP (red) won the major towns in the Red Lands and the DP (light blue) won Luxembourg City and its western suburbs.

The CSV won pluralities in three of the four circonscriptions, coming behind the LSAP in that party's Sud stronghold. The CSV's vote was remarkably consistent across the whole of the country, whereas the other two main parties' votes varied wildly (particularly in Sud). The Greens and ADR won disproportionate number of votes in the east-central region and north respectively.

	CSV	LSAP	DP	Greens	ADR	KPL	Other

Sud	29.3%	33.5%	11.6%	10.2%	7.1%	2.8%	5.6%

The CSV won pluralities across most of the country, winning more votes than any other party in 86 of the country's (then) 118 communes. The LSAP won pluralities in 21 communes, primarily in the Red Lands in the south. The DP won 12 communes, particularly in its heartland of Luxembourg City and the surrounding communes.
