General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 1 and 3 February 1974. The result was a victory for the Progressive Citizens' Party, which won 8 of the 15 seats in the Landtag. Voter turnout was 95.3%, although only male citizens were allowed to vote.[1] This was the last election contested by the Christian Social Party.
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. The electoral threshold to be eligible to win seats in the Landtag had been reintroduced in 1973, but at a lowered 8%. The majority clause that had been in use since 1958 was abolished in 1973.[2] Only males aged 20 or above were eligible to vote.[1][3]
