The electors elected by the people between July 23 and 28, 1910 met on August 2, 1910 in Vaduz and on August 4 in Mauren. Seven MPs were elected in the Oberland constituency, five were elected in the Unterland constituency. In addition, three deputies were appointed on September 10, 1910 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 July 23 and 28, 1910, 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 1910 state elections.

List of members

The electorate of the Oberland constituency met on August 2, 1910 in the Niggschen Gasthaus in Vaduz, today the Hotel Schlössle, to carry out the election of the MPs. The electors from Unterland met two days later in the school house 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 122 electors elected from the Oberland constituency, only 117 were present and all but one of the 70 Unterland electors were present.
