Alegerile parlamentare din anul 1906 în comitatul Arad
The Parliamentary Elections in 1906 in Arad County

Summary/Abstract: In the whole of Arad county, the local leadership of the Romanian National Party had excellent results, better than at the previous elections. Out of seven candidates who entered the electoral competition, four won. Sântana and Pecica were constituencies where the Romanian electorate was in minority, which made the Romanian National Party’s success less probable. Even so, only the electoral results from Chişineu can be regarded as a disappointment. The advantage of having a majority of Romanian voters could not be capitalized by Ioan Russu Şirianu and his electoral staff, because a part of these voters chose to vote – because of the corruption and the pressure exerted by elements from the local administration -- in favor of the opponent party. The 1906 elections were a great success for the local leaders of the Romanian National Party. The four elected deputies – Ioan Suciu, Nicolae Oncu, Ştefan Cicio-Pop and Vasile Goldiş – confirmed that Arad was one of the party’s strongholds and promised the leaders of Arad an important place in the central leadership of the party.
