# 2005 Liechtenstein general election

General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 13 March 2005 to elect the 25 members of the Landtag. The Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP) remained the largest party in the Landtag but lost its majority, winning twelve seats, with the Patriotic Union (VU) winning ten. The Free List (FL) won three seats. Voter turnout was 86.5%.
Following the election, the FBP and VU formed a renewed coalition, which had previously ended in 1997.

## 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.
