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 70 comprised the judicial districts of Přestitz , Taus (excluding the communities Haselbach, Prennet, Tannawa, Vollmau, water soups), Neugedein (excluding the communities Braunbusch, Donau, Hirschau, Kaltenbrunn, Marberg, Neumarkt, Schneiderhof, Viertl) and the communities Chotimiř , Elstin, Franowa, Kamenzen, Křenowa, Kwitschowitz, Lohowa, Lohowtschitz, Malonitz, Motscherad, Podiefuß, Putzlitz, Schekarschen, Stankau Markt, Tschirm, Wostratschin (all judicial districts Bischofteinitz ).
