General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 7 February 1993. Although the Patriotic Union won the most votes, the Progressive Citizens' Party won the most seats, whilst the Free List obtained representation in the Landtag the first time, being the first third party to gain seats in the Landtag. Voter turnout was 88%.[1] Fresh elections were subsequently held in October.
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.[2]
