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 1886. The electors elected by the people between April 6 and April 10, 1886 met on April 19, 1886 in Vaduz and on April 20 in Mauren. Seven MPs were elected in the Oberland constituency and five in the Unterland constituency. In addition, on May 10, 1886 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 April 6 and April 10, 1886, the elections took place in the school houses 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 1886.

List of members

The electors of the Oberland constituency met on April 19, 1886 in the palace hall in Vaduz to elect the members of the parliament. The electors from Unterland met one day later, on April 20, 1886, in the Batliner Gasthaus 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 114 electors elected from the Oberland constituency, only 112 were present; one of the 68 Unterland electors was missing.

Since before the beginning of the legislative period in the Oberland constituency there were more MPs who did not accept the election than there were deputies available, one seat remained vacant.
