Three referendums were held in Switzerland in 1971. The first was held on 7 February on introducing women's suffrage at the federal level, and was approved by 66% of voters. The second and third were held on 6 June on a constitutional amendment to introduce the human right to a non-hazardous environment and "a federal resolution on federal finances." In the first referendum in which women were allowed to vote, "both were approved by voters."
