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 97 included the judicial district of Asch without the city of Haslau . In the 1907 Reichsrat elections, Eduard von Stransky from the Free German Party emerged victorious. In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Stransky lost to the Social Democrat Oswald Hillebrand in the runoff election .
