After a regular five-year term, the Progressive Unity Party and Nikola Tesla dissolved the Chamber of Representatives and the Chamber of Supervisors and a general election was organised for the 22nd of March, 1985. It resulted in the Progressive Unity Party and Nikola Tesla maintaining and improving upon the gains secured in the 1980 Malgravean General Election and securing a continuation of the previous governing arrangement.

As a result the competition of the national census at the start of the year, a decision was reached by the National Electoral Commission and Integrity Office (NECIO) to expand the Chamber of Representatives from 1900 seats to 2200 seats to ensure the continued proportionality of the vote.

Election Issues

Following the signing of the Epping-Rensk Agreement and the end of the civil war, an initial focus of the campaign was on the integration of the territories of the National Workers' Republic of Malgrave and the Socialist Republic of Malgrave. The Progressive Unity Party advocated for the continuation of the work being conducted by the National Committee for Ancestral Reconciliation and Integration of New Territories (NCARINT) which had been established by the government in 1983. Others disagreed, with the Conservative Action Party accusing NCARINT of being too weak while the Green Party accused it of being slow to act and too bogged down by a desire for perfection.

Latterly discussions around the end of isolationism came to to the forefront, with the Green Party advocating for a shortened timeline and a emergence to take place in 1995 as opposed to the planned year of 2000 stipulated in the Epping-Rensk agreement, although, this was a viewpoint that was not shared by other major parties.

The Greens also advocated for a reorganisation of the intelligence services following the conclusion of the civil war, a viewpoint shared by the Technology Party who advocated for the creation of an academic review on the subject with the possible splitting up of the Special Investigative Service.
