General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 1 February 1970. The Patriotic Union (VU) won eight of the 15 seats in the Landtag, the first time it had held a majority since its formation in 1936, ending 42 years of government led by the Progressive Citizens' Party. However, the VU continued the coalition government with the FBP, which had existed since 1938. Voter turnout was 95%, although only male citizens were allowed to vote.
