Ballot

Ballot

A beautiful piece of swiss semi-direct democracy…

1) A group of people wants to change the law and gather enough signature (>100’000) to go into votation process.
2) The government disagree with this new proposal and propose an alternative.

As a citizen, I need to answer to the two questions: “Do I accept Proposal 1 ?”, “Do I accept Proposal 2 ?” and since they are exclusive, can not be applied at the same time, I need to answer to the question which one I prefer if both proposal pass.
Note that to pass a proposal (ie. an “initiative”) needs to be accepted by a majority of people, and a mojority of “cantons”…

Easy uh ?
