The electoral district Tirol 21 was a constituency for the elections to the House of Representatives in the Austrian Crown Land of Tirol . 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 . 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 Tirol 21 included the judicial districts of Borgo , Strigno and Levico .

In the 1907 Reichsrat election , Guido Gentili from the Trentino People's Party emerged victorious. He received 72 percent of the votes in the first ballot, followed by the candidate of the Italian National Party with 26 percent. In the 1911 Reichsrat election Gentili was able to defend his mandate and increase his share of the vote to 88 percent thanks to the fact that the National Liberals did not appear.
