Local elections in the People's State of Hesse in 1922

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The local elections in the People's State of Hesse in 1922 were the second local elections in the People's State of Hesse and took place on November 19, 1922.

background

The local people's representatives were last determined in the local elections in the People's State of Hesse in 1919/1920 . At the end of the three-year electoral term, new elections were scheduled for rotation. While the first local elections had been shaped by the turmoil of the post-war period, the situation had now changed significantly. At the time of the election, the Allied occupation of the Rhineland continued. The elections in the province of Rheinhessen therefore took place in the occupied territory. German inflation from 1914 to 1923 shaped the economic situation . The state elections in the people's state of Hesse in 1921 resulted in significant losses for the SPD compared to the previous election. At the municipal level, local electoral rolls played a major role.

The elections of the city and municipal parliaments

The city council and municipal council elections took place in proportional representation for 3 years. In municipalities in which only one nomination was submitted, no elections took place, but the nomination was considered to have been elected.
