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 9 comprised the western and southern part of Smíchov , which was not occupied by the constituency of Bohemia 8 , as well as the local communities Košíře , Kněževes , Střešovice , Dejvice , Bubeneč and Hlubočepy (all judicial districts Smichow ), Mysočan, Podol and Branik. In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Lev Winter emerged victorious from the Czech Social Democrats. Winter was also able to successfully defend his seat in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
