Summary
Swiss voters rejected a $5.6 billion (CHF 5 billion) motorway expansion plan (52.7%) and two proposals to ease eviction rules and tighten subletting controls (53.8% and 51.6%).
Environmental concerns and housing fairness were key to the opposition.
Meanwhile, a healthcare reform to standardize funding for outpatient and inpatient care narrowly passed (53.3%), marking a rare success for health policy changes.
The results highlight public resistance to certain government-backed initiatives.
Voter turnout was 45%.
Yeah the booklet in french was also quite shockingly oversimplified langauge that didn’t seem fair.
And when the best detailed argumentation you can find against is a pdf from the against group that’s not super well sourced, it really didn’t feel like a fair vote in the way it was presented and explained.
I was super suprised my canton voted nearly 60% against.
This round of referenda was a major shift to the left, I wonder why.
