The 112th Great Veche election in Venadia took place on the 21st and 22nd of March to elect 400 deputies to the Venadian Great Veche across 200 constituencies and 200 multi-member regions. The election was regular, as a result of the 111th Great Veche's four-year term running out. The election saw the end of the Socialist Party's eight year rule and the Liberal-Republicans forming a minority government.

The deputies of the 112th Great Veche, barring one abstentionist from the AU, met on the 25th of March to appoint a new executive government and formally swear in the deputies as well as hold the traditional open air feast in the garden of the Great Veche. In additon to the Liberal-Republican Party, the Unity Party and the White Venadian Autonomy Party made great gains winning the majority of White Venadian majority constituencies, while the Civil Rights Party entered the Great Veche for the first time. The AU lost the majority of their seats as they fell below the national electoral threshold, but retained one constituency seat.

A record 94 deputies sworn in were women (95 if one counts the abstentionist AU deputy), making the 112th Great Veche the most gender-equal yet. The Civil Rights Party became the most prominently female parliamentary party, with five of its seven deputies being women. Of the mayor parties, a record 45 deputies of the Socialist Party are women. 65 political parties contested the election, as well as 749 independents. A total of 8 parties gained seats, along with 49 independents.
