Swiss citizens are set to vote on a proposal to limit the country’s population to 10 million residents, with the referendum expected to conclude by Sunday. The initiative, put forward by the right-wing nationalist Swiss People’s Party (SVP), aims to control population growth through immigration restrictions. Current polling data indicates a slight lead for opponents of the cap, however, support for the SVP’s proposal has been increasing. A significant number of voters remain undecided, making the outcome uncertain. The debate centers on concerns about infrastructure, resources, and national identity. The result will have significant implications for Switzerland’s future immigration policies and demographic trajectory.
