1922 Swiss referendums

Background

The referendums on citizenship, expelling foreigners, federal officials and the one-off property tax were all popular initiatives, which required a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons. The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton. Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half. The referendum on the criminal law was an optional referendum, which required only a majority of the public vote.
