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 9 included the city of Maribor .
The Social Democrat Hans Resel emerged victorious from the 1907 Reichsrat election . He achieved 50.3% in the first ballot and thus prevailed against the German radical representative Heinrich Wastian , who got 43.8%, without a runoff . In the 1911 Reichsrat election, however, Wastian was able to turn the result. In the first ballot he already scored 52.9% and was able to refer Resel to second place, who achieved 38.2%.
