1918 Estonian Constituent Assembly election

Elections to the Estonian Constituent Assembly were held on 3–4 February 1918. In some electoral districts, the elections were postponed until 9–10 February. During the October revolution, the Bolsheviks also took power in parts of Estonia, mostly in urban areas in Northern Estonia. Parts of Estonia were already occupied by Germany and the elections were not held in these areas.

The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (Bolsheviks) allowed the elections to be held, in hope of getting a majority of the votes. However, they achieved only 37.4% of the votes, leaving a majority for parties that supported Estonian independence. The Estonian Constituent Assembly was never convened after these elections, because the Communists annulled the elections and Germany occupied the rest of Estonia in the same February. New elections to the Constituent Assembly were held in 1919.[1]

gollark: Notably, you can have tags with some amount of logic in them for filtering based on various predicates.
gollark: Now, while very ææææ in some ways (they say stuff about keeping notes around for 100 years, but run on a subscription model, and do their stuff as a clientside webapp?!), some of the features there ARE very cool.
gollark: Another one of the inspirations which fed into the utterly nonexistent idea of minoteaur I have in my head is Standard Notes.
gollark: Oh, and a full text search index obviously, although ripgrep *is* pretty fast on plain text files.
gollark: Well, I had various very approximate ideas: tags, including some sort of "smart tags" thing; first-class storage of inter-note links, possibly with associated data of some sort, for cool visualization things™; possibly even associating arbitrary key/value pairs with notes for processing.
