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 110 included the judicial district of Teplitz without the city of Teplitz ( electoral district of Bohemia 82 ). From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Josef Seliger from the Social Democratic Party emerged victorious, where he won his seat in the first round of voting with 59 percent.
