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.[3][4] The elections meant huge gains for the social democratic and agrarian parties while the national liberal parties lost ground.
