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 constituency of Austria under the Enns 17 comprised parts of the 9th Viennese district of Alsergrund , d. H. the part of the border with districts I., II. and XX. as well as the line Alserbachstraße, Nußdorfer Straße, Spitalgasse and the border to the 8th district.

In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Paul von Hock (Independent) emerged victorious from the runoff election. He was able to successfully defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election in the runoff election.
