Swiss voters reject the “No
10-Million-Switzerland!” Initiative

On 14 June 2026, the federal popular initiative "No 10-Million-Switzerland! (Sustainability Initiative)" was rejected.

As a result:

• No constitutional threshold for the permanent resident population in Switzerland will be introduced.
  

• The Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons between Switzerland and the EU remains in force and is unchanged.
• For companies based in Switzerland, facilitated access to workers and specialists from the EU/EFTA area remains in place.

• The current Swiss residence and admission rules also remain unchanged for internationally mobile private individuals.
  

• However, the issue of proactively managing immigration remains on the political agenda.
