The constituency of Austria under the Enns 51 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian crown land of Austria under the Enns . 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 member of parliament has to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency of Austria under the Enns 51 comprised the judicial districts Mödling , Liesing , Purkersdorf and Klosterneuburg , whereby the following municipalities were excluded from the constituency:

• the municipalities of Liesing , Atzgersdorf , Inzersdorf , Kaltenleuthaben , Siebenhirten and Vösendorf (all judicial district Liesing) and Wiener Neudorf (judicial district Mödling) belonging to constituency 35
• the municipality of Klosterneuburg, which belongs to constituency 36
• the for constituency 39 belonging municipality Mödling

In the 1907 Reichsrat election , August Kemetter ( Christian Social Party ) emerged victorious in the first ballot with 60 percent. Kemetter was able to defend his mandate in the Reichsrat election in 1911 , but was only just able to prevail against the Social Democratic candidate in the runoff election.
