history

After the Reichsrat had decided on the general, equal, secret and direct male suffrage in autumn 1906, the major reform of the electoral law through the sanctioning of Emperor Franz Joseph I came into effect on January 26, 1907 . With the new Reichsrat election regulations, a total of 480 electoral districts were created, each with one member to be elected, who was determined by direct election with a possible runoff. In Upper Austria there were 20 constituencies before the abolition of the class electoral law, with the rural communities sending seven members, the cities six members, the landowners and the general electoral fund three members each, and the Linz Chamber of Commerce and Industry sent one member. With the introduction of universal male suffrage, 22 electoral districts were created in Upper Austria, which were divided into six so-called city constituencies and 16 rural community constituencies. In addition to the three constituencies for Linz and its immediate surroundings, there were three further constituencies in which the voters of a number of cities and markets, as well as individual localities from a municipality, were grouped together. The rural community constituencies consisted of a certain number of judicial districts, from which the places from the city constituencies were again excluded.
