Swiss voters had their say on Sunday on a set of ballots which went right down to the wire.

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%.
