The constituency of Austria under the Enns 53 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 Enns 53 comprised the judicial districts of Korneuburg , Großenzersdorf and Wolkersdorf , with the municipality of Korneuburg belonging to constituency 36 being excluded from the electoral district.

In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Johann Mayer ( Christian Social Party ) emerged victorious in the first ballot. He was able to successfully defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
