The constituency of Bohemia 71 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 71 comprised the judicial districts of Strakonitz and Wolin as well as the municipalities of Altprachatitz, Auřitz, Bělč, Budkau, Chumen, Dwur, Husinetz, Jelemka, Lažitz, Lhota Chocholata, Lipowitz, Mičowitz, Nebahau, Pietschnau, Wihau, Teschow, Wosek, Zabrdy, Zarowna (all judicial districts Prachatitz ) as well as the communities Bohumilitz, Boschitz, Busk, Ckyn, Dolan, Huschitz, Kleinzdikau, Sct. Mara, Radschau, Wischkowitz, and Wonschowitz (all judicial districts of Winterberg ). However, the cities of Strakonitz and Wolin (both constituency 30 ) were excluded from the electoral district .
From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Josef Bukvaj the winner. In the 1911 Reichsrat election he was able to successfully defend his mandate.
