Background and campaign
[edit]Incumbent mayor of Vaduz, Petra Miescher of the Patriotic Union resigned on 24 May 2024 due to ongoing health issues. Her deputy, Florian Meier, assumed the position as acting mayor and a by-election was called on 25 August 2024 to elect a new mayor.[3]
Meier was nominated as the Progressive Citizens' Party candidate on 20 June.[4] Neither party wanted a campaign period, and the Patriotic Union renounced a candidate on the 25th of the same month. Meier was expected to be elected to the position unopposed.[5]
Meier was elected to the position unanimously, receiving 95% of the vote, and became the next major of Vaduz.[2] Voter turnout was 52.2%.[1] He was sworn on 18 September by prime minister Daniel Risch and deputy prime minister Sabine Monauni.[6]
