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 member of parliament has to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency of Bohemia 4 comprised small parts of the II. Prague district (Upper New Town II), d. H. those parts that were not covered by electoral districts 2 and 3 as well as the VI. Vyshehrad municipality in Prague . Karel Černohorský ( Young Czechs ) emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election , but he resigned his mandate as early as 1908/09 and was subsequently replaced by his party colleague Jindřich Metelka . In 1911 Václav Klofáč ( Czech National Social Party ) won the election.
