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 74 included the judicial districts Pilgram , Kamenitz an der Linde , Patzau , from which, however, the cities of Kamenitz an der Linde ( constituency 29 ) and Pilgram and Patzau ( constituency 33 ) were excluded.

From the Imperial Council election in 1907 went Milo Záruba the winner. In the 1911 Reichsrat election , Václav Donát prevailed.
