Should everyone have the right to challenge government decisions in court?

This vote was about reforming the justice system and strengthening legal protections. The reform guaranteed that people generally have the right to challenge government decisions in court and modernized the organization of the judicial system. Supporters argued that it would improve access to justice, strengthen the rule of law, and make the courts more efficient. Opponents raised concerns about the cost and complexity of the reforms.

The proposal was approved by Swiss voters.
