A vote will be taken in Bern on whether the instrument of urgent legislation will be introduced. This means: Laws take effect immediately once two-thirds of the members of the Grand Council agree to them. Many cantons already have this instrument. More information can be found here.
The Freiburg transport company wants to further expand its offering. The Council of State would like to support this investment. More information can be found here.
The voting envelope in Geneva is thick. Because: The canton votes on five cantonal proposals.
Geneva decides on a gigantic new construction project. A new 230-hectare district with 120,000 apartments will be built near Geneva’s city center.
In Geneva, election organizers have 40 days to collect enough signatures for a cantonal referendum. Now the deadline for referendums at Easter will be suspended.
The number of signatures for a cantonal initiative and referendum must be reduced.
The SVP wants to enshrine the unofficial Genevan national anthem “Cé qu’è lainô” in the cantonal constitution.
The SVP also advocates halving the motor vehicle tax. There is a counter-proposal to this.

In Lucerne there is discussion about whether a special loan should be provided for the new construction and renovation of the training center in Sempach. More information can be found here.
The FDP wants to halt job growth in the administration in the canton of Solothurn. Full-time state positions should be limited to 85 per resident. More information can be found here.
Uri would like to introduce the specialist ‘Threat Management’ unit, which is intended to detect acts of violence (stalking, intimidation or domestic violence) at an early stage. Other cantons such as Zurich and Bern already have such a position. More information can be found here.
The cantonal environmental law also needs to be revised. Among other things, the foundations must be laid for the merger of the two waste processing companies Taku and wastewater Uri. Another point requires connection to the sewerage network in the so-called hamlet zones, often tourist infrastructure located outside them. More information can be found here.
A revision of the canton law would give retailers more leeway when it comes to closing times. For example, shops must be open until 7 p.m. instead of 6:30 p.m. More information can be found here.
The residents of Valais also decide whether the canton will get a new constitution. More information can be found here.
In the fight against traffic jams, it is decided to build two tunnels in the canton of Lucerne.
The approximately two kilometer long tunnel costs around 750 million francs and is intended to relieve the city of traffic. More information can be found here.
In the future, the village center of Unterägeri should also be able to be bypassed with a 1,800-meter-long tunnel. Cost: 308 million francs. More information can be found here.
An extension of runway 28 is planned. This should increase the safety margins. At the same time, flight operations in the evening must be more punctual and cause less noise. More information can be found here.
The SVP demands that those responsible for unauthorized demonstrations that lead to riots must pay for the damages and costs of the police operation. The counter-proposal provides for a similar arrangement. More information can be found here.
The banking initiative aims to make the banks of Zurich’s waters more accessible and ecologically improved. A continuous path along the lake should be built, especially at Lake Zurich. More information can be found here.
