Ever since the transition of Haivan to communism and the tilting of the confederal balance to the side of the NCSSR, a series of popular initiative referendums have been examined by the Nadiyan Commission for Electoral Fairness and Transparency with most of those initiatives failing to pass due to a lack of signatures or extremely low turnout.

However a recent popular initiative launched by the Lesnovian Association of Communists & Sympathizers managed to not only Garner the 5 million signatures required for it to be a confederal referendum, it also fulfilled the 60% turnout recruitment alongside accomplishing a crushing victory of 82% mandating that the Presidential Council convenes an extraordinary Constitutional Convention and kickstarts the process of drafting a new constitution for the country.

After the results of the initiative were certified by the NCEFT, the presidential council examined the proposal and voted unanimously yes to the proposal after holding a meeting with the Supreme Justices of the Supreme Cooperative Court. The decision was finalized by the televized speech of current Council President Kae Young-Ja announcing the call of constitutional elections scheduled for September of this year alongside appointing the incumbent Ophelia administration to continue acting as the caretaker government until the end of the Constitutional Convention and holding of general elections.

Already, the different constitutional factions have begun their electoral campaigns with communists being neck in neck against the Matriarchists in opinion polls especially since a recent Vmeste poll with a field work of seventy thousand citizens has shown that favorablity in regards to communist ideas or the prospect of Nadiya becoming a union of Soviet republics has jumped by 7%
