1994 Kwitzkan Province Reform

The 1994 Kwitzkan Province Reform was an important reform voted in favour of on 10.08.1994 and going in power on 1.01.1995 regarding the need of upgrading the subdivision of Kwitzka.
==Background==
In early 1994 the general public of Kwitzka started to realise the problems of the current at that time subdivision, mainly the very uneven populations (ranging from under 100k in Uupnägläfi to nearly 2 million in Ënuqqlät, modern day Sënnägläfi and Nqlät) and uneven wealth distribution. The borders of the provinces were also made without considering cities expanding, such as in Käatqin, where the city was split in half between Tereffútiqnë and Wmäginútih.
The political party in power wanted to have a good impression on the public for the 1995 elections where it would run for reelection. Seeing the negative attitude of the citizens of Kwitzka towards the present at that time subdivision it decided to try to fix as many problems as it could to increase its chances of staying in power.
==Reform==
The reform changed the borders and created new provinces and counties in Kwitzka trying to balance the provinces to be of similar sizes. The reform was first presented on 25.06.1994, which was then modified and finally approved on 10.08.1994. The proposed provinces were to become the new provinces on New Year's Eve of 1995.
The reform also introduced single-city counties (mëstqë pöwiäty, usually capitals of provinces or other large cities, such as Kheghluqtixh and Käatqin) and provinces (Nqlät and Tereffút).
== Transitioning period ==
After the approval of the reform in August, provinces were tasked with holding elections for local officials. The provinces were also forced to create new services for the new provinces and counties, such as assigning police to new localities. The provinces were granted grants from the central government if requested and deemed necessary.
== Post-introduction ==
On 1.01.1995 the law came in power. The first weeks were, in most cases, quite messy. The opinion on the change was also changing in the first weeks of the introduction. A survey held in 7.01.1995 by KT in various places around Kwitzka showed 67,3% people believed the change was necessary, however the opinion changed to become mainly positive by 21.01.1995, showing 83,2% support for the reform. After a month the situation in new provinces and counties was mostly stable.
