Switzerland’s November 29, 2026 ballot features four measures under the country’s direct democracy rules: a mandatory referendum on raising VAT to fund expanded AVS pension payments, popular initiatives for stricter fireworks limits and revised joint taxation for married couples, and an optional referendum on amendments to the war materiel export law. Parliament and the Federal Council oppose both initiatives while supporting the VAT decree and export changes, consistent with patterns where government-backed fiscal measures often secure approval but restrictive popular initiatives face higher hurdles. The June 2026 rejection of a population cap initiative highlighted voter sensitivity to economic risks alongside social and security concerns, providing recent precedent for how competing priorities may shape turnout and cantonal majorities on these items.

As of market creation, four referenda are scheduled to be held in Switzerland on November 29, 2026:
- Issue 1: Federal decree of 19 June 2026 on additional funding for the AVS through an increase in VAT
- Issue 2: Popular initiative ‘For a restriction on fireworks’
- Issue 3: Popular initiative ‘Yes to fair federal taxation for married couples – To finally put an end to marriage discrimination!’
- Issue 4: Amendment of 19 December 2025 to the Federal Act on War Material (LFMG)
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/).
