Federal
Marriage for all
Parliament has decided to introduce marriage for same-sex couples. This allows them to adopt children and – in the case of lesbian couples – also have access to sperm donation. A committee made up of representatives from the EDU and SVP as well as individual representatives from the EPP and the center held the referendum. The people, however, are broadly behind the template and clearly approve of it.

99 percent initiative
The Young Socialists demanded by popular initiative a stronger taxation of high capital income. As the name of the initiative suggests, the richest percent of the population should have to pay more. With the additional income estimated at 10 billion francs, people with low and middle incomes should have been supported. But the initiative had no chance, in front of the people as well as with the estates.

Cantonal
UR: voting age 16
The voters of Uri do not want to lower the voting age to 16 years. With 68.4 percent no they have the corresponding template heavily discarded on Sunday. This means that the canton of Glarus remains the only one in Switzerland that allows young people over the age of 16 to vote and vote. The no is a surprise, at least in its clarity: except for the SVP, all parties supported the proposal. It was about the right to vote and be elected. Even with this reform, the minimum age to be elected would have remained unchanged at 18 years. The clear result is likely to be a setback to efforts to lower the voting age at the national level. However, appropriate templates are being discussed in individual cantons.
BE: Climate protection articles
The Bernese electorate clearly approves a new constitutional article on climate protection. 64 percent supported the proposal and with it the goal that the canton should become climate neutral by 2050. Only the SVP had spoken out against it. The constitutional article does not specify any concrete measures, but requires that the canton and municipalities work to limit climate change and its consequences. The no votes came primarily from the rural parts of the canton. The Grand Council had previously approved the bill with 98 yes to 44 no and 10 abstentions.
FR: Substitute election to the Council of States
In the canton of Friborg Isabelle Chassot won a seat on the Council of States for the center . Chassot clearly prevailed in the replacement election for Christian Levrat’s seat. The long-time SP President was appointed Post President at the end of March. For the SP was the Oberamtmann Carl-Alex Ridoré started. However, he had no chance against Chassot, who had been Freiburg State Councilor for twelve years and was re-elected twice with the best result. Chassot received 62.7 percent of the vote. With the election of Chassot, a high post in the federal administration becomes vacant. She has been director of the Federal Office of Culture since 2013.
