General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 5 February 1922, with a second round on 16 February. [1] They were the first elections held under the 1921 constitution, which resulted in some changes to the electoral system. The result was a victory for the opposition Christian-Social People's Party, which won 11 of the 15 seats. [2]
