General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 14 June 1953.[1] Early elections were called after the Patriotic Union members of the Landtag resigned over a dispute regarding the administrative composition of the old age and survivors' insurance office in Liechtenstein.[2] The Progressive Citizens' Party won eight of the 15 seats in the Landtag,[3] but remained in coalition with the Patriotic Union.[4]
