On Aggregation and Secession
Only a province can secede or aggregate.
Secession is effected with 75% of eligible voters in a province
affirming, provided a portion of the boundary of the province borders
on a sovereign nation other than that from which the province is
voting to secede, or borders on a body of water that such a sovereign
nation borders, or borders on an ocean. The constitution that goes
into force in the event of an affirmative vote for secession, must be
published at least one week but at most one month prior to the opening
of voting (though it can, of course, have also been published at an
earlier time).
Aggregation is effected with 75% of eligible voters in a province
affirming, and 75% of eligible voters affirming in the nation with
which the province will aggregate. Voting in the province and the
nation must be simultaneous (beginning and ending within an hour of
each other). The constitution that goes into force in the event of an
affirmative vote for aggregation, must be published at least one week
but at most one month prior to the opening of voting, and must be
consistent with the constitution of the nation with which the province
will aggregate. In particular, it must include the constitution of
that nation in its unaltered entirety.
