Unterland (electoral district)

Unterland (German: Wahlkreis Unterland), meaning "lower land", is one of the two electoral districts of Liechtenstein.

It comprises five municipalities and three villages, for a total of eight settlements.

[2] When the district was established, its representatives were elected by a delegation of 100 electors, who themselves were elected by the citizens of the district.

In the 1930s, the electoral districts were abolished, and the Landtag was composed of a mixture of representatives of municipalities and members elected from a national list.

In 1939, the coalition government introduced proportional representation, bringing back the districts of Oberland and Unterland.
