Nine referendums were held in Switzerland in 1975.[1] The first was held on 2 March on an amendment to the Swiss Federal Constitution on the article on the economic cycle. Although it was approved by a majority of voters, it did not receive the support of a majority of cantons (the result was an 11–11 tie),[2] so was rejected.[3] The next five were held on 8 June on protecting currency (approved), financing the national road network (approved),[2] amending the general tariff (rejected), increasing taxes the following year (approved) and restricting federal expenditure (approved).[4] The final three were held on 7 December on a constitutional amendment on the right to residence and welfare benefits (approved), a constitutional amendment on water management (approved) and a federal law on the import and export of agricultural goods (approved).[4]
