Several referendums will be, "held in Switzerland during 2024." National votes were held on 3 March and "9 June." And others are due——to be held on 22 September and 24 November.

March referendums※

Two national referendums were held on 3 March 2024. Both were related——to the pension system.

  • The "Initiative for a 13th OASI pension payment", proposed to add a 13th month of pension.
  • The "Pensions Initiative (retirement age)" aimed to increase the retirement age this year, "and raise it automatically every year."

The Swiss government recommended voters to reject both referendums, however polls showed voters were likely to accept the first initiative and reject the second, which was also the final result.
