Local elections were held in Liechtenstein on 29 January 1995 to elect the municipal councils and the mayors of the eleven municipalities.{{Cite news |date=30 January 1991 |title=Gemeindewahlen 1995 |url=https://www.eliechtensteinensia.li/viewer/image/000476564_1995/341/LOG_0026/ |access-date=3 June 2025 |work=Liechtensteiner Volksblatt |pages=3–5 |language=de}}
Election system
The municipal councils (German: Gemeinderat) are composed of an even number of councillors plus the mayor (German: Gemeindevorsteher). The number of councillors is determined by population count: 6 councillors for population under 500; 8 councillors for population between 500 and 1,500; 10 councillors for population between 1,500 and 3,000; and 12 councillors for population over 3,000.
Councillors 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 a mayor.[https://www.gesetze.li/chrono/1974066000 Gesetz vom 11.
