On Sunday, voters in Zug approved the leaner counter-proposal to the Young Alternative's transparency initiative. This means that only the principles of the initiative are written into the constitution, while the details are to be regulated in a law.
The voters followed the government and cantonal council and approved the counter-proposal to the constitutional initiative, with 52% of votes in favor, according to the Federal Statistical Office. They rejected the constitutional initiative with 54%.
The government and parliament were of the opinion that the concerns of the initiators should not be regulated at constitutional level. With a "leaner" counter-proposal, they only want to enshrine the principles of the initiative with regard to financing and the binding of interests. In their opinion, the specific details should be laid down in law.
Zug had already voted on this bill on June 9. However, the vote was declared invalid due to problems with the count.
