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 99 comprised the judicial district Rumburg and the community Georgswalde from the judicial district Schluckenau . Josef Hannich from the Social Democratic Party emerged victorious in the 1907 Reichsrat elections . In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Hannich had to give in to Anton Jerzabek's runoff election from the Christian Social Party .
