1919 Liechtenstein referendum

A double referendum was held in Liechtenstein on 2 March 1919.[1] Voters were asked whether they approved of increasing the number of directly elected members of the Landtag from 12 to 17, and whether the voting age should be lowered from 24 to 21.[1] Both proposals were rejected by 54.8% of voters.[1]
