Swiss voters will decide four federal measures on November 29, 2026, including a mandatory referendum on raising VAT by 0.4 percentage points to fund the new 13th AHV pension payment, an optional referendum on easing war materiel export rules to allow sales to close partner states even during conflicts, a popular initiative for stricter fireworks limits, and a popular initiative to restore joint federal taxation for married couples to address the so-called marriage penalty. The arms export amendment, backed by the right-wing SVP, FDP, and Centre parties plus industry groups, faces opposition from left-leaning parties and pacifist organizations over neutrality and human-rights concerns. Recent parliamentary debates and the September rejection of stricter neutrality and food-security initiatives provide context for likely turnout and coalition dynamics on these issues.
