2007 Liechtenstein local elections

The 2007 Liechtenstein local elections were held on 28 January to elect the municipal councils and the mayors of the eleven municipalities of Liechtenstein.[1]

Electoral 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 or 8 councillors for population 1,500, 8 or 10 councillors for population between 1,500 and 3,000, and 10 or 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.[2]

gollark: BEE regular expressions.
gollark: I never actually ended up having to reflect 2D lines in 2D lines.
gollark: Well, the way I know to do this in 3D space (with a plane, though) would be to compute the intersection of the line and plane, and then to reflect some arbitrary point on the line in the plane, and make a line through those two points.
gollark: This is EMPIRICAL maths.
gollark: Do you fear Minoteaur, in general?
