The referendum against the Council’s decision to approve the expenditure for the organization of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 in Basel is about to take place. Voters are going to vote on this and two other cantonal and four federal proposals on November 24, 2024. At the same time, the second round of general renewal elections for the Governing Council is going to take place.
The request for a referendum was submitted today with the gathering of the required 2,000 signatures. A total of 3,912 valid signatures were counted. At the same time this weekend a vote is going be held, under the popular initiative of the canton “for more musical diversity” (“für mehr Musikvielfalt”), on the partial revision of the cantonal constitution regarding the right to vote and be elected to foreign residents as well as on four federal bills.
Election papers will be packed and sent next Monday. By the end of the week, the voters will have received the documents.
