On 9 September 2022, planning for a referendum on the royal arms of Baustralia were started by Aidan McGrath, the First Secretary of State and Secretary of State for the Interior. Authorization of the referendum by an Act of Parliament was granted in the evening of 11 September, and at 10 PM EDT, the referendum was opened. The referendum closed at 10 PM EDT the day after, and an Act of Parliament authorized the changes made in the referendum.

The questions of the referendum, as laid out in the National Symbols (Referendum) Act, were to keep or adopt a new design of the Royal Arms of this Realm, to keep or adopt a new design of the Arms of the County of Landspotter, to adopt a design for the Arms of the County of Newport, to adopt a design for the Arms of the County of Dynexistan, and to adopt a design for the Arms of the County of Vienna.

All arms were changed except the Royal Arms which was split. As it didn't get a majority, it failed. The county arms were all changed immediately in the second Act of Parliament which was granted royal assent a minute past midnight. After the failure of the royal arms, McGrath resigned, dissolved the Communist Party of Baustralia and rescinded his citizenship.
