General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 1 February 1970. The Patriotic Union won eight of the 15 seats in the Landtag, the first time it had held a majority since its formation in 1936. However, it continued the coalition government with the Progressive Citizens' Party, which had existed 1938. Voter turnout was 95%, although only male citizens were allowed to vote.
