The electoral district of Bohemia 52 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 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 52 comprised the judicial districts of Pilsen and Blowitz , with the city of Pilsen ( constituencies 14 and 15 ) and the municipality of Littitz ( constituencies 122 ) being excluded from the constituency.

In the 1907 Reichsrat election, the Social Democrat Gustav Habrmann emerged victorious from the first ballot with 63 percent. In the 1911 Reichsrat election, he was able to successfully defend his mandate with 60 percent in the first ballot.
