The electoral district of Bohemia 54 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 54 included the judicial districts of Přibram and Hořowitz , with the municipalities of Přibram and Hořowitz belonging to constituency 32 being excluded from the electoral district.
In the 1907 Reichsrat election, the social democrat Hynek Klička emerged as the winner with 64 percent of the first ballot . In the Reichsrat election in 1911 he was able to successfully defend his mandate in the first ballot with 57 percent.
