The Nové Zámky 16th electoral district ('XVI. Nové Zámky') was a parliamentary constituency in the First Czechoslovak Republic for elections to the Chamber of Deputies. The seat of the District Electoral Commission was in the town of Nové Zámky.[2] The constituency elected 11 members of the Chamber of Deputies.[3] [4] [5]
The boundaries of the Nové Zámky 16th electoral district and the Kosice 20th electoral district had been drawn to maximize the number of Hungarian and German voters in these districts.[6] 96% of all Hungarians and 59% of all Germans in Slovakia lived in these two electoral districts. In Nové Zámky 16th electoral district 36% of the inhabitants were ethnic Czechoslovaks.
The 1921 Czechoslovak census estimated that the Nové Zámky 16th electoral district had 629,458 inhabitants.[4] Thus there was one Chamber of Deputies member for each 57,223 inhabitants, far more than the national average of 45,319 inhabitants per seat.[4] The Košice 20th electoral district had 57,238 inhabitants per seat.[4] Only the Užhorod 23rd electoral district (i.e. Subcarpathian Rus') had a higher amount of inhabitants per seat that the Nové Zámky and Košice districts in all of Czechoslovakia.[4] As of the 1930 census Nove Zámky 16th electoral district had the second-highest number of inhabitants per seat (64,273/seat), after Užhorod.[7]
In election to the Senate Nové Zamky 16th electoral district and Košice 20th electoral district together formed the Nové Zámky 9th senatorial electoral district (which elected 9 senators),[3] in spite of the fact that the two electoral districts were geographically separated.[8]
In the 1920 Czechoslovak parliamentary election the majority of votes in Nové Zámky were cast for social democrats and the Hungarian-German Social Democratic Party emerged as the largest party. With 35.7% of the votes it got 4 deputies elected (Paul Wittich, Samuel Mayer, Gyula Nagy and Jozsef Földessy). Also in the fray was the Czechoslovak Social Democratic Workers Party which obtained 15.3% of the vote and got a deputy elected (Ivan Dérer). The social democrats mobilized voters both in industrial centres (like Bratislava) as well as amongst agricultural labourers in the country-side.
The second largest party in the district was the Hungarian-German Christian Social Party, which polled 24.5% of the votes.[9] János Tobler and Johann Jabloniczky were two of their deputies.[10]
