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 53 comprised the judicial districts Rokitzan , Zbirow and Březnitz , with the municipalities belonging to constituency 32 Rokitzann , Zbirow and Březnitz being excluded from the electoral district.

In the 1907 Reichsrat election, the Social Democrat Luděk Pik emerged victorious with 61 percent of the first ballot . In the 1911 Reichsrat election he was able to successfully defend his mandate with 62 percent in the first ballot.
