After the Second World War, he was a lecturer at the Catholic University of Leuven and parliamentary editor of De Nieuwe Standaard. He also became editor-in-chief of the political weekly 't Westen (1945-1947), founded by Jos De Saeger.
After his marriage in 1945, he settled in the Flemish Brabant municipality of Lot, where his wife was a pharmacist. There, in the first post-war municipal elections, he was asked by the local CVP branch to lead the list. The CVP immediately won a majority. Van Elslande became mayor of Lot in January 1947, and remained so without interruption until he passed the sash to his successor Frans Roossens in 1976. During his almost 30 years as mayor, he managed to transform Lot into a "model industrial village".
