The government has decided to put all four proposals ready for a vote to the ballot box at the same time, it announced on Wednesday.
In addition to the tax reform and the financing of SRG – Swissinfo’s parent company – the cash initiative and its direct counter-proposal as well as the climate fund initiative of the Social Democrats and the Greens will be on the ballot in spring 2026.
The popular initiative “Yes to an independent, free Swiss currency with coins or banknotes (cash is freedom)” and its direct counter-proposal (federal decree on the Swiss currency and cash supply) will be put to a vote on the popular initiative and counter-proposal at federal level for the first time since 2010, followed by a run-off question.
