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 MP had to prevail with an absolute majority in the first ballot or in a runoff election. The constituency of Salzburg 5 comprised the judicial districts of the following judicial districts, whereby the municipalities excluded from the judicial districts were combined with other municipalities in electoral district 3 :

In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Paul Krennwallner ( Christian Social Party ) emerged victorious, with 69 percent of the vote against his opponents from the Social Democrats and the German Conservative People's Party. With almost 73 percent, he was finally able to clearly defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election. The second strongest party in the constituency was the German Conservative People's Party or its successor party, the German Freedom Association , followed by the Social Democrats. Krennwallner died in 1914, although there was no substitute election due to the First World War and the mandate subsequently remained vacant.
