The constituency of Austria under the Enns 6 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 MP had to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency Austria under the Enns 6 comprised that part of the 2nd Viennese district Leopoldstadt that was not occupied by the constituency 5 .

From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Viktor Silberer ( Christian Social Party ) out of the first round as the winner. In the 1911 Reichsrat election , the Social Democrat Franz Schuhmeier prevailed in the runoff election, but he died on February 11, 1913. In the by-election that followed in October, Heinrich Mataja was able to win back the mandate for the Christian Socialists.
