GENEVA, September 27. /TASS/. Swiss voters rejected an initiative in a referendum that would have enshrined the principle of perpetual and comprehensive neutrality in the Swiss Constitution, as well as lifted anti-Russian sanctions and prohibited Switzerland from joining NATO.
According to preliminary results published by the Federal Statistical Office, 68.6% of voters opposed the initiative, while 31.4% supported it. Voter turnout was 46.36%.
For the initiative to pass, a double majority was required, meaning support from a majority of voters and a majority of cantons. Since 13 out of 26 cantons, including three half-cantons, have already voted against the initiative, it is clear that it has failed. Final results are expected this evening.
