General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 23 March 1958.[1] The elections were called ahead of schedule after the Patriotic Union members of the Landtag resigned over a dispute regarding the electoral law.[2] The Progressive Citizens' Party won nine of the 15 seats in the Landtag,[3] but remained in coalition with the Patriotic Union.[4]
