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 117 included the judicial districts of Falkenau and Elbogen without the cities of Elbogen and Falkenau ( constituency 90 ). The free socialist Simon Starck emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election . He was able to defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election again in the runoff election.
