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 member of parliament has to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency of Bohemia 7 comprised the 5th and 8th Prague districts ( Josefstadt and Altlieben ). From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Antonín Němec produced by the Czech Social Democrats as the winner. Němec was also able to successfully defend its seat in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
