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 five to seven 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);
• adding the Chechen language as a state language alongside Russian;
• let future constitutional changes be decided by parliament.^[2]

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