from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Parts of the empire and crown lands of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy :
  • Cisleithania
  • Transleithania
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina (administered since 1878, annexed in 1908)
  • The 1873 Reichsrat election was held in Cisleithanien in October 1873 . It was the first election carried out under the curial suffrage.

    Electoral system

    Since 1873 the curiae suffrage was in effect in Cisleithanien . The voters were classified into four curiae according to their status and wealth. The curiae were large landowners, chambers of commerce and trade, large and medium-sized farmers and all other male citizens living in cities who paid at least 10 guilders (five guilders from 1882) direct taxes annually. This corresponded to a total of 6% of the adult population.

    Election result

    The German Liberals won the parliamentary elections with 218 seats and formed the government. The largest opposition faction was the Polish Club with 49 seats and the German Conservatives with 44 members.
