Parliamentary elections were held in Liechtenstein on 31 January and 2 February 1986. The result was a victory for the Patriotic Union, which won 8 of the 15 seats in the Landtag. The Progressive Citizens' Party won seven votes, whilst the new Free List narrowly failed to cross the 8% electoral threshold and did not obtain representation.[1]

They were the first elections in which women could vote, as until the passing of a referendum in 1984, suffrage had been limited to men.

Results

Party Votes % Seats +/-
Patriotic Union 46,793 50.19 8 0
Progressive Citizens' Party 39,853 42.75 7 0
Free List 6,582 7.06 0 New
Invalid/blank votes - - -
Total 9,581 100 15 0

Note that the total number of votes is lower than the total for the parties, as each voter has as many votes as there are seats in a constituency, and thus can cast multiple votes.
