Background and electoral system Enfranchised citizen, as defined for the Hamburg state elections, were males who paid a certain amount of income tax. Every voter had a total 12 votes. After the voter disenfranchisement law of 1906, sparked by the electoral victory of the SPD, the subsequent state elections of 1907, 1910, and 1913 would use a system of heavily weighted class suffrage that divided the enfranchised male population into two groups. Group I was made up of citizen who had paid an average annual income tax of above 2,500 ℛ︁ℳ︁ for the last three years, whereas Group II was made up of citizen who paid between 1,200 and 2,500 ℛ︁ℳ︁ in taxes annually. Furthermore, landowners and the notables (primarily current and former MPs) were also enfranchised with 40 representatives per group. A weighted voting system as used to disenfranchise Group II as much as possible. It has been calculated by Margarete Wolters that a notable's vote counted 59 times, a landowner's vote 17 times, and the vote of any other Group I elector counted four times as much as a vote from any one Group II elector. In the years 1910 and 1913, in the last elections according to the electoral law of 1906, the gradation of Hamburg's population was as follows: Population groupPopulationAllocated SeatsThe numbers in brackets indicate the number of seats up for actual election, the rest of representatives were the so-called elders (Erbgesessene) that were to keep a life-long seat.In the urban areas77,24172 (36)└ Group I28,47948 (24)└ Group II48,76224 (12)In the rural areas5,9468Land owners8,73140Notables95440Wealthy voters total38,164128Total voters83,187160Total population1,037,2750 Results Group I Group II Won Not up Total +/– Social Democratic Party 8652 1 133939 8 9 11 20 +1 United Liberals #FFD800 41644 7 48465 3 10 19 29 +6 Faction of the Left #F99CDC 40611 7 22858 1 8 29 37 0 Faction of the Left Centre #C184AF 28852 4 13767 0 4 31 35 –2 Faction of the Right #1884AF 32581 5 15751 0 5 35 40 +2 +7 44.58 40.12 Von der privilegierten Herrschaft zur parlamentarischen Demokratie p. 53/54Von der privilegierten Herrschaft zur parlamentarischen Demokratie See also Elections in Hamburg 1919 Hamburg state election Notes References Literature Eckardt, Hans Wilhelm (2002).
