A double referendum was held in Switzerland on 15 May 1927.[1] Voters were asked whether they approved of amending article 30 of the constitution and a federal law on car and bicycle traffic.[1] The constitutional amendment was approved by voters, whilst the traffic law was rejected.[1]
Background
The constitutional question was a mandatory referendum,[1] which required a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons.[2] The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton.[2] Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half.[2] The traffic law question was an optional referendum,[1] and required only a majority of voters.[2]
