An even broader franchise reform in Austria-Hungary…
1888 CE to 1899 CE
The proposed reform would give the vote to all male citizens over the age of twenty-five and thus dilute still further the middle-class urban vote that the court associates with fervid nationalism.
The bill is widely rejected by the conservative backers of the Iron Ring, and Eduard Taaffe resigns.
Ethnic tensions do not subside, even though a modified version of the franchise legislation proposed in 1893 is ultimately enacted.
