A referendum on the introduction of women's suffrage was held in Liechtenstein on 28 February 1971.[1] Voting was restricted to men, and resulted in a majority against its introduction. Voter turnout was 85.6%.[2] Following the referendum, some women demonstrated in Vaduz and other towns, booing male pedestrians and carrying signs bearing the slogan "Men of Liechtenstein: Where's your virility".[3]
