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 order, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, with one member being elected in each constituency with the exception of Galicia in the course of the Reichsrat election. The MP had to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency of Bohemia 27 included the cities of Kuttenberg , Chrudim , Hermanmestetz , Chrast , Caslau , Žleb and Goltsch-Jenikau .

In the 1907 Reichsrat election, Bedřich Pacák ( Young Czechs ) emerged victorious from the first ballot , reaching 57 percent. In the 1911 Reichsrat election, he was able to defend his mandate with 62 percent in the first ballot. The second-best result was achieved by the Social Democratic candidate.
