List of cabinets of Liechtenstein

Under the 1921 constitution, one government councillor is also appointed as the deputy prime minister.

Initially, governments only had two councillors and the deputy prime minister was not considered a full member of government until 1965 when a constitutional amendment passed that increased the number of councillors to four, including making the deputy prime minister a full member of government.

The prince can appoint a provisional government that may be in office for a maximum of four months without the consent of the Landtag.

Councillors cannot be a member of the Landtag at the same time, although they should meet the eligibility requirements for that office.

[2] Traditionally, Liechtenstein governments have been dominated by the Progressive Citizens' Party and the Patriotic Union in various coalition governments, with the larger party occupying the role of prime minister and having more councillors, whereas the smaller party occupies the role of deputy prime minister and has fewer councillors.
