As of market creation, two referenda are scheduled to be held in Switzerland on September 27, 2026: - Issue 1: Popular initiative ‘Safeguarding Swiss neutrality (neutrality initiative)’ - Issue 2: Popular initiative ‘For safe food – through strengthening sustainable domestic production, increasing plant-based foods and ensuring clean drinking water (food initiative)’ This market will resolve to “Yes” if the listed referendum is approved under the applicable legal threshold in the specified popular vote. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” This market will resolve to “Yes” if either the popular initiative or, where applicable, the federal counter-proposal is approved under the applicable legal threshold, regardless of any tie-breaker vote. If the referendum is officially rescheduled, the same rule applies to the new ballot and its corresponding deadlines. This market will resolve to “No” if, for any reason, the results of the respective vote are not known definitively by the date the subsequent Referendum in Switzerland is scheduled to be held. The resolution source will be based on a consensus of credible reporting. In the event of ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on the official certified referendum results published by Swiss government authorities, such as the Swiss Federal Chancellery and the information portal provided by the Swiss authorities (https://www.ch.ch/en/votes-and-elections/). Subsequent litigation, administrative challenges, or failure of any post-approval implementation steps will not be considered.Swiss voters will decide two popular initiatives on September 27, 2026. The neutrality initiative, backed by the Swiss People’s Party and Pro Suisse, seeks to embed a strict, perpetual, and armed definition of neutrality in the constitution, barring membership or cooperation in military or defense alliances except during direct attack. The Federal Council and parliament oppose it, arguing that codifying rigidity would limit Switzerland’s established flexible foreign policy approach and diplomatic options. A June 2026 poll indicated 54% opposition versus 34% support. The separate food initiative, advanced by a citizens’ committee without parliamentary backing, targets higher domestic self-sufficiency, greater plant-based production, and groundwater protection—measures widely viewed as unrealistic by critics. Both face coordinated government resistance ahead of the vote.
