Ættu allir borgarar að vera skyldaðir til að gegna herþjónustu eða samfélagsþjónustu?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative proposed requiring every citizen, including women, to perform service benefiting society or the environment. Service could be completed in the military, civil protection or another legally recognised role, for example in disaster preparedness, care services or food security. People who did not serve would generally pay a replacement charge, and Parliament could later extend some form of service to non-citizens. Supporters argued that universal service would strengthen social responsibility, national resilience and equality. Opponents warned that it would roughly double the number of people required to serve, impose major costs on government and employers and risk displacing ordinary paid work. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
