1932 Liechtenstein general election
General elections were held in Liechtenstein in March 1932.[1] A new electoral system was introduced in which the Landtag was elected in two rounds.[2] In the first round then members were elected, with every municipality with more than 300 inhabitants electing one member.[2][3] The second round involved the election of the remaining five Landtag members through a national vote with the whole of Liechtenstein serving as one electoral district.[2][3]
