Federal decree regarding the supplement to the Federal Constitution of 29 May 1874 by an addition regarding the legislative right on accident and health insurance
A referendum on accident and health insurance was held in Switzerland on 2 October 1890. Voters were asked whether they approved of a federal resolution on amending the constitution with regards to accident and health insurance. It was approved by a majority of voters and cantons.[1]
Background
The referendum was a mandatory referendum,[1] which as it pertained to the constitution, required both a majority of voters and cantons, as opposed to an optional referendum, which required only a majority of the public vote.[2]
