The Czech lands (
Kingdom of Bohemia ,
Margraviate of Moravia and the
Duchy of Upper and Lower Silesia ) elected 194 out of the 516 seats in the Imperial Council.
These elections were the first which were held under
universal male suffrage , after an electoral reform abolishing tax paying requirements for voters had been adopted by the Council and was endorsed by Emperor
Franz Joseph earlier in the year.
