Background

On 25 September 2018 the Landtag voted by a margin of 14–11 to allocate two loans of 400,000CHF to the Liechtenstein Ski Association (LSV) to allow it to host the Tour de Ski in 2019–20 and 2020–21.[1] The measure was opposed by The Independents, who began collecting signatures for a referendum on 13 September. Under article 66 of the constitution, a referendum can be held if at least 1,000 signatures are collected within a 30-day period. By 12 October, 1,743 signatures were collected, with 1,730 deemed valid.[1]

On 16 October the government set a date for the referendum. In the meantime, the LSV was awarded the right to host the races on 28 September.[2]
