A constitutional referendum was held in the Russian republic of Chechnya on 2 December 2007, together with the Russian parliamentary elections.[1] 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.[2]

The referendum succeeded with 85% of the vote in favour.[3]
