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 49 comprised the judicial districts of Smichow and Königsaal , with the municipalities of Smíchov , Košíře , Kněževes , Střešovice , Dejvice , Bubeneč and Hlubočepy belonging to electoral district 8 and electoral district 9 being excluded from the electoral district. The area of ​​the former electoral district is now part of the city of Prague .

In the 1907 Reichsrat election, the social democrat Antonín Svěcený emerged victorious from the first ballot . In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Svěcený was able to successfully defend his mandate.
