The National Council constituency Aargau-Südost was a constituency in elections to the Swiss National Council . It existed from 1890 to 1919 (introduction of today's proportional voting rights ) and covered the southeastern part of the canton of Aargau .
Electoral process
This was a singles constituency. This means that only 1 seat was available and the pure majority suffrage was used. Each voter had one vote.
designation
Aargau-Südost is an unofficial geographical name. In official use, consecutive numbering applied across the whole of Switzerland, arranged according to the order of the cantons in the Swiss Federal Constitution, was common . Due to the changing number over the years, some constituencies were given a new number several times. Aargau-Südost was numbered 40 from 1890 and number 38 from 1901.
expansion
The area of the constituency was determined on June 20, 1890 with the "Federal Act on Elections to the National Council". This was intended to enable the population of the Catholic-conservative Freiamt region , which had previously been regularly outvoted in the reformed-liberal constituency of Aargau-Mitte , to be represented in the National Council. Aargau Southeast comprised:
- the Bremgarten district (excluding the communities of Anglikon , Dottikon , Hägglingen and Wohlen )
- the Muri district
In 1919, the four Aargau constituencies were merged to form the Aargau National Council constituency, which still exists today , in which proportional representation applies.
