JUGAC, SOUTH BAGGNAGIA – At its latest session the Military Council of South Baggnagia discussed the Double-Referendum that will be held jointly in North and South Baggnagia. The set date for the referendum in both nations will be April 3rd. This is what the Baggnagian Reunification Commission and the Joint Democratic Referendum Commission agreed on in their joint session. They delivered that proposal to the military governments of North and South Baggnagia. Both governments approved of the date. There is a popular belief not only within both leaderships but among the populace in both nations that this question has been the primary one debated and focused on since the war ended. Through this entire post-war period both nations have not only been rebuilding and healing together but hearing about whether to reunify and accept whatever the new constitution is going to be every day. This included formal campaigning by politicians (old and new) and up and coming social movements in both nations. North and South Baggnagians think they had enough time to consider and April 3rd is not too much of an early date to finally vote. Both nations and a divided Baggnagian people finally want to settle this.
Baggnagian Reunification Commission is preparing the Baggnagian Unification Treaty for North and South citizens to accept or reject. The Constituent Assembly of Baggnagia is putting finishing touches on the draft of a constitution for a reunified Baggnagian state also to be put up for acceptance or rejection by North and South voters. It will depend on what the verdict on the Unification Treaty is going to be for the verdict on the constitution to have any merit. In the midst of all of this the Joint Democratic Referendum Commission is working hard to establish voting conditions for the upcoming Double-Referendum. And that’s without mentioning all the responsibility of setting up conditions the ongoing referendum campaigning and all sociology polls of citizens in North and South Baggnagia that had been taken prior.
Military Council of South Baggnagia is also putting in personal effort into basically propaganda of the Double-Referendum. The military government insists that citizens should show up and create a large turnout for this historic vote. Otherwise they believe that South Baggnagia will not be able to move forward without clarifying this question with the northern neighbors. Military Council has even been reaching out to the citizens of the North but also asking that the North Baggnagian military government promote the referendum as much as it can to its own citizens. A high turnout is a goal for not just one of the Baggnagian states but jointly because voters in North and South will not be counted separately but jointly. During the vote they will be looked at as a single voting population. That is why a large turnout between both nations is needed for maximum legitimacy of the vote’s outcome.
