Parliamentary elections were held in Lithuania in two stages on 25 October and 15 November 1992. Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1201 A total of 141 members were elected to the Seimas, which replaced the Supreme Council; 70 were elected using proportional representation and 71 from single-member constituencies. Where no candidate gained more than 50% of the vote on 25 October, a run-off was held on 15 November.
