A constitutional referendum was held in Switzerland on 25 October 1914.[1] The proposed amendments of article 103 and the addition of article 114bis were approved by 62.3% of voters and a majority of cantons.[1]
Background
[edit]In order to pass, any amendments to the constitution needed a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons.[2] The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton.[2] Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half.[2]
