The electoral district of Bohemia 120 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 120 comprised the judicial districts Luditz , Buchau , Jechnitz and the communities Bernklau , Čisotin , Deutsch Doubrawitz , Hluboka , Hurkau , Kotantschen , Krasch , Lukowa , Mösing , Netschetin , Potok , Preitenstein , Rabenstein , Radschin , Ratka , Wilkischau , Wirschin , Wisočan , Zahradka and Zwolln (all Manetin judicial district ).

In the 1907 Reichsrat election , the Pan-German Karl Iro emerged victorious from the runoff election. He was able to defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election in the first ballot.
