General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 24 October 1993 to elect the 25 members of the Landtag. Early elections were called following prime minister Markus Büchel being subject to a successful motion of no confidence at the request of his own party, the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP).^[1] The Patriotic Union (VU) won a majority of thirteen seats, with the FBP winning eleven. The Free List (FL) won one seat. Voter turnout was 85.3%.^[2]

Electoral system

The 25 members of the Landtag were elected by open list proportional representation from two constituencies, Oberland with 15 seats and Unterland with 10 seats. Only parties and lists with more than 8% of the votes cast in each constituency were eligible to win seats in the Landtag.^[3]
