1st SRG trend survey on the referendum of 26 September 2021

20.08.2021 | gfs.bern on behalf of SRG SSR

Voter turnout approx. 42 % | 1 x Yes, 1 x Stalemate.

If the vote had already been held on 7 August 2021, the amendment to the Swiss Civil Code (marriage for all) would have been accepted, while those willing to participate would have been divided on the popular initiative “Relieve the burden on wages, tax capital fairly”. It would have been accepted by a wafer-thin relative majority.

Voter turnout would have been a slightly below-average 42 per cent.

In the Cockpit (in French and German), in addition to the results in the overview, you will also find background information on the proposals of 26 September 2021 and on the theory and method of the SRG trend survey.
