v t e

A constitutional referendum was held in the Russian republic of Chechnya on 2 December 2007, together with the Russian parliamentary elections. Among the changes proposed were:

extension of the mandates of president from four to five years and of parliament from four to five years;
removing restrictions on presidential terms
adopting a unicameral parliament with 41 MPs (instead of the 58 MPs the lower house had up to that date);
let future constitutional changes be decided by parliament.

The referendum succeeded with 85% of the vote in favour.
