Switzerland

Ten referendums were held in Switzerland in 1984.[1] The first three were held on 26 February on introducing tolls for HGVs (approved), introducing tolls for national routes (approved) and a popular initiative "for a real civilian service based on a proof through demonstration" (rejected).[1] The next two were held on 20 May on popular initiatives "against the abuse of bank client confidentiality and bank power" (rejected) and "against the sellout of the homeland" (rejected).[2]

Two further referendums were held on 23 September on popular initiatives "for a future without further nuclear power plants" (rejected) and "for a secure, parsimonious and ecologically sound energy supply" (rejected).[2] The final three were held on 2 December on a popular initiative "for an effective protection of maternity" (rejected), a federal resolution on an article in the Swiss Federal Constitution relating to broadcasting (approved) and a popular initiative "for the compensation of victims of violent crimes" (approved).[2]
