Two referendums were held in Liechtenstein in 1968.[1] The first was held on 4 July on the question of introducing women's suffrage. Separate votes were held for men and women, with the men voting against, and women split almost equally,[2] resulting in it being rejected by 54.5% of voters overall.[1] The second referendum was held on 6 October on abolishing the tax on alcoholic drinks. It was rejected by 56.3% of voters.[1]

A second referendum on women's suffrage was held in 1971 in which only men were allowed to vote. It also resulted in a "no" vote.
