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 Tyrol 2 included Innsbruck without the areas of constituency 1 (the part enclosed by the right bank of the Inn and the railway bodies of the southern and state railways) as well as the local communities Mühlau ( court district Hall ) and Höttingen ( court district Innsbruck ).

From the Imperial Council election in 1907 was Simon Abram ( Socialist Workers Party ) emerged as the winner. Abram was also able to successfully defend his mandate in the 1911 Reichsrat election.
