Number of electors
According to the Liechtenstein constitution, the state parliament was not elected directly, but by means of electors. Between April 28 and May 3, 1898, 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. For the state election in 1898, the eleven municipalities provided the following electors.

List of members
The electorate of the Oberland constituency met on May 11, 1898 in the Niggschen Gasthaus in Vaduz, today the Hotel Schlössle, to elect the members of parliament. The electors from Unterland met one day later, on May 12, 1898, 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 117 were present, while all of the 74 Unterland electors were present.
