The electors elected by the people between August 25 and 28, 1902 met on September 3, 1902 in Mauren and on September 4 in Vaduz. Seven MPs were elected in the Oberland constituency and five in the Unterland constituency. In addition, on September 21, 1902, 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 August 25 and 28, 1902, 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 1902 state elections.

List of members

The electors of the Oberland constituency met on September 4, 1902 in the Niggschen Gasthaus in Vaduz, today the Hotel Schlössle, to carry out the election of the MPs. The electors from Unterland met the day before, on September 3, 1902, 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, but all 74 Unterland electors.
