From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Three referendums were held in Switzerland in 1964.[1] The first was held on 2 February on granting a general tax amnesty, and was rejected by voters.[1] The second was held on 24 May on a federal law on vocational education, and was approved by voters.[1] The third was held on 6 December on continuing with price controls, and was also approved by voters.[1]
