2039 Chernoslav Soviet Special Election

The February 2039 Chernoslav Soviet Special Election occurred on February 7th of 2039 and was the first federal election in Chernoslavia after independence. The election was between 3 major parties: The Chernoslav Communist Party (CCP), the Homeland Party, and Chernoslav Taxpayers Party. Only the CCP and Homeland won seats. The result was a narrow Communist victory with 28 out of 51 seats, and Mikhail Yeremen beating Nikolai Kuznetsov to become President of the Soviet.

Background
Before February 1st, 2039, Chernoslavia was controlled by Slavonia and was administered over several different oblasts and krais. After the dissolution of the Federation of Slavonian States, Chernoslavia was made independent and the then Governor of Vatsyy Krai, Aleksandr Verkov, became de-facto president. The election solidified Communist control over the country, as if Kuznetsov would've won, the legislature would have been controlled by the national conservative Homeland Party.

In the early morning hours of February 2nd, Nikolai Kuznetsov acknowledged a Communist victory over the Homeland party. Yeremen gave his victory speech not long afterwards at around 8:00 AM local time.

Results
The election was surprisingly partisan for Chernoslavia, as the CTP primarily backed Kuznetsov and formed a coalition with him. Because of this, the CTP did not run and only received write-in ballots. Ethnic minorities such as Vorskanis, Salurians, and Karelyans primarily voted for Homeland as Homeland advocated for autonomous rights for areas with minority-majorities. Workers and industrial regions such as Northern Krai primarily voted for the CCP as the party appealed heavily to the working class. Overall, The CCP won a majority of the popular vote however due to the Chernoslav electoral system, winners are decided by the number seats they win. The results were 28 seats for the CCP, 23 seats for Homeland, and 0 seats for the CTP.
