Reichsrat election 1901

Parts of the empire and crown lands of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy :

Cisleithania

Transleithania

Bosnia and Herzegovina (administered since 1878, annexed in 1908)

The Reichsrat election 1900/1901 was held from December 12, 1900 to January 18, 1901 in Cisleithanien . It was the last election in Cisleithanien, in which the curial suffrage of 1873 applied.

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

A total of 425 MPs were elected. The strongest parliamentary groups after the elections were the Polish Club, the Young Czechs and the German People's Party . Together they made up 164 seats.

The elections had no impact on the government level because Ernest von Koerber's government was in office until 1904.
