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]

The first round of the election was held on 6 March with every municipality except Planken electing one Landtag member.[1][3] The second round was held on 13 March.[1] The result was a victory for the ruling Progressive Citizens' Party, which won 13 of the 15 seats in the Landtag.[4] This was the last election contested by the Christian-Social People's Party before it merged with the Liechtenstein Homeland Service to form the Patriotic Union.
