According to the Federal Statistical Office, 54.79% of the voters <a href=\"https:\/\/popular-votes.admin.ch\/en\/details?proposalId=6860\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rejected<\/a> the initiative, while 45.21% supported it, even when immigrants comprise around 27.5% of the total permanent population. The referendum had a turnout of 58.86%.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Surveys leading to the vote were divided, with early ones indicating that the proposal would pass. Nonetheless, the possible repercussions of this measure might have scared some supporters in the end.<\/p>\n<p>The vote sharply divided the country in two, with supporters claiming that the goal was to lessen the pressure of increased immigration on the country\u2019s transport and health infrastructure. Those who opposed it argued that, if passed, it would risk Switzerland\u2019s access to European markets, including relevant economic groups.<\/p>\n<p>This divide manifested at the polls.
