1930 Liechtenstein by-election

By-elections were held in Liechtenstein on 16 March 1930.[1] By-elections were called following the resignation of the four Christian-Social People's Party members of the Landtag.[2] The VP believed that general elections should be held in 1930 because the Landtag elected in 1928 is only continuing the term that started after the April 1926 general elections.[2] The result was a victory for the ruling Progressive Citizens' Party, which won all four vacant seats in the Landtag.[3] The VP did not participate in the by-elections.[2] The result led to a debate over the introduction of proportional representation, which took place in 1939.[4]
