Several referendums will be held in Switzerland during 2024. National votes were held on 3 March and 9 June, and others are due to be held on 22 September and 24 November.[1]
Two national referendums were held on 3 March 2024. Both were related to the pension system.
The Swiss government recommended voters to reject both referendums, however polls showed voters were likely to accept the first initiative and reject the second,[4] which was also the final result.[5]
