The constituency of Styria 6 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian Crown Land of Styria . The electoral district was created in 1907 with the introduction of the Reichsrat election regulations and existed until the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy .
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 . The new Reichsrat election regulations created a total of 416 electoral districts, with the exception of Galicia in each constituency one member was elected 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 Styria 6 comprised the towns, markets and communities Eisenerz ( judicial district Eisenerz ), Donawitz , Vordernberg ( judicial district Leoben ), Fohnsdorf , Kumpitz , Zeltweg ( judicial district Judenburg ) and Selzthal ( judicial district Rottenmann ).
The Social Democrat Vinzenz Muchitsch emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election . He prevailed with 80.5% in the first ballot. Behind him was the Christian social politician Leopold Bleimauer with 15.7%. In the 1911 Reichsrat election, Muchitsch also prevailed in the first ballot. He achieved 84.5% and thus relegated the Christian-social candidate Friedrich Streicher clearly to second place with 14.4%.
