Money for all: Lucerne voters reject the test of an unconditional basic income. (symbol image)

13,457 people rejected the test, 6,003 voters were in favor. Voter turnout in the elections was 37.29 percent.

The initiative of a non-partisan committee wanted to test the usability of the model of an unconditional basic income locally in an urban, scientifically based pilot project. A group of people would have received a basic monthly income for at least 36 months, regardless of their assets, income and occupational status. There was no provision for anything in return.

In Zurich, the initiative for a pilot project for an unconditional basic income was rejected in September 2022 with a negative vote of 53.9 percent.

At the national level, the ‘Living in Dignity – for an Affordable Basic Income’ initiative was launched in 2021, but failed in mid-January this year. And in 2016, Swiss voters rejected an unconditional basic income initiative with a negative vote of 77 percent. (SDA)
