from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list shows the members of the Landtag of the Principality of Liechtenstein , which emerged from the Landtag elections of 1894. The electors elected by the people between May 4th and May 9th 1894 met on May 16, 1894 in Vaduz and on May 17 in Mauren. Seven MPs were elected in the Oberland constituency and five in the Unterland constituency. In addition, on May 21, 1894, three deputies were appointed by Prince Johann II .

In order to be elected to the state parliament, an absolute majority of all electors present was required in the first two ballots. If not enough members could be elected by then, a relative majority was sufficient in the third ballot.

Number of electors

According to the Liechtenstein constitution, the state parliament was not elected directly, but by means of electors. Between May 4 and May 9, 1894, the elections took place in the school buildings of all parishes. The number of electors that a municipality provided was based on the number of inhabitants of the municipality. For every 100 inhabitants it provided two electors, whereby the number of inhabitants was rounded to a full 100. The eleven municipalities provided the following electors for the state elections in 1894.

List of members

The electors of the Oberland constituency met for the last time on May 16, 1894 in the palace hall in Vaduz to elect the members of the parliament before the meeting took place in the Niggschen Gasthaus, also in Vaduz, from 1898 onwards. The electors from Unterland met one day later, on May 17, 1894, in the school building in Mauren. Since 1877, the rule was that the election should always start at the announced time, even if not all electors were present. Therefore, of the 118 electors elected from the Oberland constituency, only 114 were present; one of the 74 Unterland electors was missing.
