1895 Swiss referendums

Three referendums were held in Switzerland during 1895.[1] The first was held on 3 February on a popular initiative on a federal law on Swiss embassies abroad, and was rejected by a majority of voters.[1] The second was held on 29 September on a federal resolution on amending the constitution regarding the institution of a match monopoly, and was rejected by a majority of voters and cantons.[1] The third was held on 3 November on a constitutional amendment regarding the military, and was also rejected by a majority of voters and cantons.[1]

Background

The referendums on a match monopoly and the military were mandatory referendums,[1] which required a double majority; a majority of the popular vote and majority of the cantons.[2] The decision of each canton was based on the vote in that canton.[2] Full cantons counted as one vote, whilst half cantons counted as half.[2] The embassies referendum was an optional referendum,[2] which required only a majority of the public vote.[2]

gollark: - post all of them on reddit and see if someone says one is a repost of another
gollark: Some very rough ideas for how to detect similar images:- remove blank space at top/bottom/sides and do the rest of these- run OCR over the text and check for matches- split image up into chunks, reduce the color space a lot, count how many times each color appears, check for similar chunks in other images- run edge detection on them, get locations of edges, fuzzy matching of those- ML-based object detection?- some sort of locality-sensitive hashing for image data
gollark: Probably, but I don't know what software or have any idea how it works.
gollark: Or look at how the repost detection bots do it.
gollark: Really? I'll have to look into this then.
