v t e

Early general elections were held in Liechtenstein on 24 October 1993 following the dissolution of Parliament on 15 September after a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Markus Büchel initiated by members of his own party, the Progressive Citizens' Party. The result was a victory for the Patriotic Union, which won 13 of the 25 seats in the Landtag. Voter turnout was 85%.

Electoral system

The 25 members of the Landtag were elected by open list proportional representation from two constituencies, Oberland with 15 seats and Unterland with 10 seats. Only parties and lists with more than 8% of the votes cast in each constituency were eligible to win seats in the Landtag.
