Swiss voters rejected a gender-neutral service mandate and a 50% wealth tax for climate funding on November 30, 2025.

Swiss voters rejected two high-profile initiatives on November 30, 2025: a gender-neutral civic duty requiring all young adults to serve in military or civilian roles, and a 50% inheritance tax on fortunes over 50 million Swiss francs to fund climate action. Both faced strong opposition, with polls showing 64% and 68% against, amid concerns over unfair burdens on women and potential economic impacts. Government and parliamentary warnings about driving away wealthy individuals and businesses contributed to the defeat.
