Valais is sticking to the old cantonal constitution. The draft of the new constitution was clearly rejected by the electorate on Sunday with around 68% of votes against.
The turnout was 61.5 percent, as reported by the Valais State Chancellery on Sunday.
On March 4, 2018, the people of Valais approved the popular initiative for a total revision of the constitution with almost 73% of votes in favour and decided to assign this task to a Constitutional Council. This council worked for four years on the draft of the new constitution, which was to replace the one from 1907.
