Early results showed Swiss voters were leaning against it.<\/p>\n<p>The populist Swiss People&#8217;s Party, which has the most seats in parliament, has stirred up and fostered anti-migration sentiment over the years, notably about an influx of workers from the neighboring European Union.<\/p>\n<p>Some have dubbed the proposal a &#8220;Swiss Brexit&#8221; because it could jeopardize Switzerland&#8217;s deep ties to the European Union anchored by deals that foster economic growth, cultural ties and cross-border travel, among other things. Switzerland is not one of the EU&#8217;s 27 member states, but it is all but surrounded by four of them<\/p>\n<p>Recent polling from the gfs.bern agency suggested that it could be a close contest.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary results shared by the federal government showed that nearly 53% of voters rejected the proposal, with nationwide turnout exceeding 57%. Results were still pending from many of Switzerland&#8217;s 26 cantons.<\/p>\n<p>The number of people living in Switzerland has soared by nearly one-quarter over the last generation, and foreigners today make up nearly one-third of the population.<\/p>\n<p>Critics say the boom in migration has brought foreign labor and skills to sectors such as healthcare, finance, pharmaceuticals, and technology.<\/p>\n<p>The right-wing party put forward the &#8220;sustainability initiative&#8221; measure, saying Swiss infrastructure, housing, social programs, natural resources and way of life have been strained by the spike in demographic growth.<\/p>\n<p>The federal government, Parliament and EconomieSuisse, a major business association, oppose the idea.<\/p>\n<p>In Geneva, Switzerland&#8217;s second-largest city and a hub of U.N. institutions and humanitarian groups, early results showed about two-thirds of voters in the region opposed the measure.<\/p>\n<p>Geneva will be hosting the G7 economic summit this week, welcoming U.S. President Trump among other world leaders.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Maria Lalu, a former diplomatic mission worker from the Philippines who arrived in Switzerland in the early 1980s, said she supported the proposal. &#8220;I have nothing against immigration. I also am a stranger,&#8221; she said after casting her vote, adding that she wants immigration to be more orderly.<\/p>\n<p>Schoolteacher Natascha Robert said she voted against the bid, expressing concern that approval could hurt Switzerland&#8217;s relationship with the EU. She also said Switzerland&#8217;s growing diversity is an asset.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think people always have something to bring us,&#8221; she said outside a polling station in the central Paquis neighborhood, emphasizing that she was born in Switzerland to two Swiss parents. &#8220;Does that mean that we have more foreigners, I feel less Swiss? Really, not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Swiss democracy gives voters a direct say in policymaking through referendums typically held four times a year. Most ballots are cast through the mail, and in-person voting ends at noon local time on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;yes&#8221; vote would require the Swiss government to take action to cap the population by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>If the population reaches 9.5 million before then, the government would be forced to restrict asylum, family reunification and residency permits, and may have to scrap Switzerland&#8217;s EU deal on the free movement of people.<\/p>\n<p>The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development has reported that Switzerland had a foreign-born population of 32% as of 2024, behind only Luxembourg and Australia among the group&#8217;s 38 member countries.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/hegseth-d-day-anniversary-speech-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">International migration<\/a><\/span> has long been a sensitive issue in Europe, as nations grapple with an aging population and increasing anti-foreigner sentiment. While that sentiment in other European countries centers on migrants from the developing world, most foreigners in Switzerland are Europeans.<\/p>\n<p>Since Switzerland and the EU eased restrictions on citizens living and working across their borders in 2002, the Swiss population has grown by 23%, to 9.1 million as of the end of last year. Economic output has also increased, up 24% over the same period, government data show.<\/p>\n<p>Swiss voters have repeatedly tackled the immigration issue over the last half-century. Only one such referendum \u2014 &#8220;Against mass immigration&#8221; in 2014 \u2014 narrowly passed, after campaigners stoked fears about overpopulation and rising numbers of Muslims in the country.<\/p>\n<p>While many countries have limits on immigration, none has ever voted to limit its population, Swiss experts say.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>
