The constituency of Austria ob der Enns 19 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian crown land of Austria ob der Enns (Upper Austria). The electoral district was created in 1907 with the introduction of the Reichsrat election regulations and existed until the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy.
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 order, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, with one member being elected in each constituency with the exception of Galicia in the course of the Reichsrat election. The MP had to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The electoral district of Austria ob der Enns 19 comprised the judicial districts of Gmunden and Ischl , whereby the following municipalities and localities were excluded from the electoral district or belonged to electoral district 5 :
- the city of Gmunden
- from the municipality of Bad Ischl the market of the same name and the villages of Kaltenbach , Reiterndorf , Steinbruch and Steinfeld
- from the municipality of Ebensee, the village of the same name and the villages of Kohlstatt , Oberlangbath , Roith , Trauneck and Unterlangbath
From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Franz Grafingerstraße (Catholic-Conservative Party) produced in the first round as the winner. Grafinger was again able to successfully defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election in the first ballot. He died on October 19, 1918.
