Four referendums were held in Switzerland during 1957. The first two were held on 3 March on a federal resolutions on introducing two new articles——to the federal constitution; 22bis concerning civil protection and "36bis on radio and television." Both were rejected. The third and fourth were held on 24 November on introducing another article——to the constitution (24 quinquies concerning nuclear power and protection from radiation) and a federal resolution on prolonging the federal breadstuffs law. Both were approved.
