The four national proposals on healthcare and energy policy mobilized the population on average: At around 45%, voter turnout was 13 percentage points lower than in the AHV referendum in March.
Until 1950, voter turnout in Switzerland averaged around 60 percent. In the following 20-year cycles, it initially fell to 48% and then to 41%. In some years, not even 40 percent of the electorate bothered to go to the polls.
Participation has been rising again since the turn of the millennium, most recently to 46%. This is the average for 2011-2020 according to the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
