Both the votes on gun laws and tax and pension reform were accepted by 63.7% and 66.4% of voters respectively.
Majorities in all cantons voted for the tax and pension reform initiative.
Only in Ticino did a majority of voters reject the government’s changes to gun laws – 54.5% were against and 45.5% in favour. Majorities in all other cantons voted in favour of these changes.
Despite the success of the tax and pension vote, some called for continued focus on addressing the financial challenges faced by Switzerland’s state pension system.
