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 3 and Obere Neustadt I comprised parts of the II. Prague district, the demarcation being defined as follows: “From the II. District, the part that runs through the 1st and 3rd electoral district, through Resselgasse, Karlsplatz , Gerstengasse and the extension of the last one is limited by Komenskyplatz. ” Vladimír Srb ( Old Czech ) emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election , but he resigned his mandate in 1909 and was surprisingly replaced by Karel Stanislav Sokol of the Radical State Right Party . In 1911 Karel Kramář ( Young Czechs ) won the election.
