The electoral district of Bohemia 103 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian crown land of Bohemia . 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 rules, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, each with a member to be elected, which were determined by direct election with a possible runoff. The constituency of Bohemia 103 included the judicial district Reichenberg without the city of the same name Reichenberg , which formed the constituency of Bohemia 76 . In the 1907 Reichsrat election, the Social Democrat Anton Schäfer emerged victorious in the first ballot , achieving 61.3 percent and clearly distancing his strongest rival, Franz Besemüller, from the German People's Party . In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Schäfer also prevailed in the first ballot with 55.6 percent, with Gustav Tomas from the German Radical Party taking second place with 30.2 percent.
