Main article: I DEN AM 2 (Tsardom of Pavlov Act)

On February 29, following the failure of private negotiations between the Shahanshah and the Prime Minister to reach a decision, the matter was took to the Mejlis for a vote. The initial vote ended in a tie and caused an impasse, which the Shahanshah attempted to bypass by proposing a new motion allowing to make the final decision to settle tie votes. The Mejlis approved the proposal to allow the Shahanshah to settle tie votes and the decision regarding the merger was voted on again as the Tsardom of Pavlov Act. The result of the third vote concluded by 1 March and was the same as the initial vote, although the Shahanshah used his newly-granted power to pass the Act and quickly granted it royal assent thereafter.
