Mayoral results by municipality

Local elections were held in Liechtenstein on 23 January 1972 to elect the municipal councils and the mayors of the eleven municipalities. ^[1]

Electoral system

Under the municipal law of 1959, the mayors of the respective municipalities were elected by a majority vote. The municipal councillors and their deputies were elected by open list proportional representation. Voters vote for a party list and then may strike through candidates they do not wish to cast a preferential vote for and may add names of candidates from other lists. Only men aged 20 or over were eligible to vote. ^[2]
