At the end of the lake, in addition to the federal votes, three issues were to be decided at the cantonal level in the ballot boxes this Sunday. According to the partial results taking into account 90 to 95% of voters, 61.2% of Genevans accepted a tax cut. This plans to reduce the taxation of individuals by 8.7% on average. The progressive declines range between 5.3% for the highest incomes and 11.3% for the middle class.
More than 69% of the population decided to refuse the modification of the law on setting prices for Geneva public transport (TPG). The project planned to give this prerogative back to public management, with validation by the Council of State. Pricing must therefore always go through the Grand Council and may be subject to referendum.
More than 62% of Genevans said no to a change in the law on development zones. This proposed that, as part of a future localized neighborhood plan, the owners of the plots concerned could approve the project by an absolute majority, failing which a consultative municipal vote would have been triggered.
Votes take place in several municipalities. Among them, that in the City concerned a credit of 54 million francs to create a pedestrian bridge upstream of the Mont-Blanc bridge. At noon, the no vote prevailed at 53.9%. The project aimed in particular to free the sidewalk of the bridge to accommodate a two-way cycle path to complete the lake U. In Lancy, residents voted on a Zero Ads project, aiming to eliminate commercial advertising in public spaces. It was accepted at 51.1% according to the first results.
