Abstract

The author deals with the peasant curia of the Gorizia Provincial Assembly in the period of parliamentarism in Austria (1861-1914). During this period eleven general elections were carried out. In the county of Gorizia the Slovenes were the majority population, while they were in minority in the Provincial Assembly. Up to 1907 the Slovenes had 10 delegates (6 in the peasant curia, 3 among the great landowners and 1 in the municipal curia), since 1907 however 14 delegates (3 in the common curia, 7 in peasant, 3 in the great landowners’ and 1 in the municipal curia). The delegates elected in the peasant curia are represented by name, their age, duration of their mandates, professional qualifications.
