2011 Liechtenstein local elections

The 2011 Liechtenstein local elections were held on 20 February to elect the municipal councils and the mayors of the eleven municipalities of Liechtenstein.

Electoral system
The municipal councils (German: Gemeinderat) are composed of an even number of councilors plus the mayor (German: Gemeindevorsteher). The number of councilors is determined by population count: 6 or 8 councilors for population 1,500, 8 or 10 councilors for population between 1,500 and 3,000, and 10 or 12 councilors for population over 3,000.

Councilors were elected in single multi-member districts, consisting of the municipality's territory, using an open list proportional representation system. Voting was on the basis of universal suffrage in a secret ballot. The mayors were elected in a two-round system. If none of the candidates achieved a majority in the first round, a second round would have been held four weeks later, where the candidate with a plurality would be elected as mayor.
