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 109 included the judicial districts of Aussig and Karbitz . The cities of Aussig ( constituency 81 ) and Karbitz ( constituency 83 ) were excluded . In the Reichsrat election in 1907 , Franz Beutel from the Social Democratic Party emerged victorious. He was replaced by Erhard Lipka in the 1911 Reichsrat election .
