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 rules, a total of 516 electoral districts were created, each with a member to be elected, which were determined by direct election with a possible runoff. The constituency of Bohemia 83 included the cities of Bilin , Dux , Karbitz , Klostergrab , Mariaschein and Türmitz . In the 1907 Reichsrat election, Heinrich Beer from the Social Democrats emerged victorious, but in 1911 Beer had to give up in the runoff election to the candidate of the German Workers' Party, Hans Knirsch .
