Women voted for the first time in the tiny Alpine principality of Liechtenstein and helped return a conservative coalition to power in the 15-member Parliament, officials said. One woman, Emma Eigenmann-Schaedler, was elected. However, the slate of the new Green party of environmentalists, including four women, failed to obtain the 8% of the vote needed for a single seat, officials said. Women were granted the right to vote in 1984.
