The electoral district of Bohemia 106 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 106 included the judicial districts Böhmisch Leipa , Haida , Dauba and Wegstädtl . The cities of Böhmisch Leipa , Haida , Dauba ( electoral district of Bohemia 78 ) and Wegstädtl ( electoral district of Bohemia 80 ) were not part of electoral district 106 . The German agrarian Peter Krützner emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election , with Krützner winning the first ballot with 53 percent. Krützner was able to defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election with 57 percent in the runoff election against the Social Democrat Josef Schweichart, who had already achieved 43 percent in the 1907 election.
