A referendum on a federal law on insolvency and debt was held in Switzerland on 17 November 1889.[1] The new law was approved by 52.9% of voters.[1]
Background
The referendum was an optional referendum,[1] which meant that only a majority of the public vote was required for the proposals to be approved, as opposed to a mandatory referendum, which required both a majority of voters and cantons.[2]
