The March 2022 Georgienstinian congressional election was held on 26–27 March 2022.
It resulted in a Georgienstine First victory, with the party keeping its majority and making major gains. Vision Georgienstine suffered losses due to low voter turnout among its supporters. The newly-founded Communist Party saw gains.
Background
