Aargau clearly rejects voting age 16
In the canton of Aargau, Swiss citizens can still only vote from the age of 18. Voters have clearly rejected a popular initiative for a voting age of 16 according to the interim result.
According to the interim result, the people of Aargau rejected the initiative with 81% of votes against. The results in 180 out of 197 municipalities had been counted by early Sunday afternoon. The voter turnout was just under 40 percent.
The initiative sought to amend the cantonal constitution. Swiss citizens over the age of 16 should be able to vote and be elected at cantonal and communal level. Several young parties launched the initiative.
The government, parliament and the conservative parties rejected the initiative. The SP, Greens, GLP and EVP were in favor of lowering the age limit. Only the canton of Glarus has a voting age of 16.

Yes trend for subletting proposal
The regulations for subletting apartments are becoming stricter. According to a trend calculation by the research institute gfs.bern on behalf of SRG, the electorate approved a corresponding amendment to tenancy law.
The yes vote comes as a bit of a surprise. The bill was on the brink in the last referendum polls. The "no" percentage increased continuously during the referendum campaign, which is an exceptional case in the formation of opinion for government proposals.

Close result in vote on own rental requirements
It is still unclear whether the electorate has accepted or rejected the planned new regulations in tenancy law for the registration of personal use. The research institute gfs.bern, commissioned by SRG, was unable to provide a trend statement at midday.

Yes trend at EFAS
In future, all healthcare services will be financed equally, regardless of who provides them and where: according to the trend calculation by the research institute gfs.bern for the SRG, voters have approved this fundamental system change.
The approval is likely to have been quite clear, said political scientist Lukas Golder from gfs.bern on Swiss television SRF. The relatively high number of yes votes was surprising. In the last polls before the referendum, an unusually large number of respondents had not announced their position on the complex bill.

Staffelbach AG says yes four times: to the highway expansion, to uniform health financing and to the two rental law proposals.
The Staffelbach residents vote relatively clearly in favor of the freeway expansion, but rather narrowly in favor of the other three proposals.

Websites of various Aargau municipalities unavailable
On voting Sunday, the websites of many municipalities in the canton of Aargau are unavailable, as the "Aargauer Zeitung" writes. The reason: a DDOS attack on the eastern Swiss company "Backlash", which creates web designs for eGovernment, SMEs and associations.
In a DDOS attack, a data center is deliberately overloaded with countless requests. In the canton of Aargau, this has now led to various municipal websites being unavailable.
