Since the Constitutional change in 1988, anyone who is 18 years of age at the time of election is eligible to vote. In fact, in Belgium you don't have the right to vote, but the obligation to vote. Not showing up is illegal and you can get a fine for it. It is, however, legal to just vote blanc (just like you would hand in a blanc test in school) in which case the blanc votes go to whichever party had the most votes overall.
