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 98 included the judicial district of Warnsdorf . Anton Pergelt from the German Progress Party emerged victorious from the Reichsrat elections in 1907 . He was replaced by his party colleague Philipp von Langenhan in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
