Will Switzerland vote to cap its population?

Jun 9, 2026 · 15m

This weekend, the Swiss will vote on a proposal to cap the nation's population at 10 million (it's already at 9.1 million). Polling suggests the result will be tight, but how the cap would work for an EU member nation is unclear. Could this be Switzerland's "Brexit' moment?
