Elections in Liechtenstein have been held since the ratification of the 1862 constitution in which the Landtag of Liechtenstein was established for the first time. Until 1918 political parties did not exist in Liechtenstein and before the ratification 1921 constitution the head of government was not elected but rather appointed by the reigning prince of Liechtenstein, thus elections were only held to elect members of the Landtag. [1] [2]

This is a list of Liechtenstein general elections (elections for the members of the Landtag of Liechtenstein, who then elect the Prime Minister of Liechtenstein) since the first in 1862. There have been 48 general elections held in Liechtenstein up to and including the February 2021 election.

In 1939 the voting system was changed to introduce proportional representation. [3] The initial amount of seats of the Landtag was set at 15, before in 1988 a successful referendum was held that increased the seats to 25. [4] Women were not allowed to vote in elections until 1984 when universal male suffrage was replaced with universal suffrage in the constitution. [5]
