Federal Act on Political Rights

¹The sig­na­ture list (on forms, sheets of pa­per or cards) used by those re­quest­ing a ref­er­en­dum for the pur­pose of col­lect­ing sig­na­tures must con­tain the fol­low­ing in­form­a­tion:¹

a.

the can­ton and the polit­ic­al com­mune in which the sig­nat­ory is eli­gible to vote;

b.

the title of the en­act­ment with the date of its ad­op­tion by the Fed­er­al As­sembly;

c.²

ref­er­ence to the fact that Any per­son who fals­i­fies the res­ult of a sig­na­ture list for a ref­er­en­dum (Art. 282 of the Swiss Crim­in­al Code, SCC³) or who of­fers or ac­cepts bribes in con­nec­tion with a sig­na­ture list (Art. 281 SCC) com­mits an of­fence.

²Where more than one re­quest for a ref­er­en­dum is sub­mit­ted for sig­na­ture, each re­quest shall be the sub­ject of a sep­ar­ate sig­na­ture list. Sig­na­ture lists for more than one re­quest for a ref­er­en­dum may ap­pear on the same page provided that it is pos­sible to sep­ar­ate each sig­na­ture list for the pur­pose of its sub­mis­sion.⁴
