I doubt they were enforcing men not checking on what their wives voted on before it was even legal for women to vote

Of course they did. Did you ever vote?

How do you think that goes? “Hey you! Only one per booth! Oh, it’s a man. Is it your husband? Oh, I see your marriage certificate. Then it’s all fine.” for millions of couples? Come on…

You might want to check your facts.

I believe the Liechtensteinian constitution only guarantees a secret ballot in parliamentary elections. It’s not guaranteed that this vote also had a secret ballot (although it probably did).

It doesn’t need to be constitutional, a simple law is enough.

Sure, if this was some kind of joke poll ignoring the most basic rules of democratic voting, I’ll stand corrected.
