General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 5 and 7 February 1982. The result was a victory for the Patriotic Union, which won 8 of the 15 seats in the Landtag. Voter turnout was 95.4%, although only male citizens were allowed to vote.[1]

Electoral system

The 15 members of the Landtag were elected by open list proportional representation from two constituencies, Oberland with 9 seats and Unterland with 6 seats. Only parties and lists with more than 8% of the votes cast in each constituency were eligible to win seats in the Landtag.[2] Only males aged 20 or above were eligible to vote.[1][3]
