A referendum on the introduction of women's suffrage was held in Switzerland on 7 February 1971. Only men were allowed to vote and the result was that 65.7% voted for the introduction.[1][2] The outcome was expected, as several cantons had introduced women's suffrage in the years previous, and the Swiss Government and several political parties actively supported women's suffrage.[1] It was the second national referendum after one in 1959, in which men voted against the introduction of women's suffrage.[3]
