1922 Liechtenstein general election
Open-knowledge reference entry

Under the new constitution the three seats in the Landtag appointed by the Prince were abolished. The number of seats in Oberland was increased from seven to nine, and in Unterland from five to six. The voting age was lowered from 24 to 21, although women were still not allowed to vote.
