This Sunday:

73.2% of the Swiss people and all the states refused to abolish conscription. The referendum was launched by the "Group for a Swiss without an Army". I believe they have lost all referendum they have launched.

In the Italian-speaking state (Ticino), a referendum to ban the burka in public places was accepted by 65% of the voters.

In the state of Zurich, 75% of the voters refused to allow foreigners to vote on the municipality elections and referendum.

The town of Zurich refused by 50.8% of the votes to pay CHF 216 million for a new football stadium.
