Zurich voters approve city-card for undocumented people
In a local referendum on 15 May, 51.7% of voters in Zürich, Switzerland, approved the introduction of a “city card” that would grant access to some city-level services to undocumented people living in the city. The card does not regularise their status. The proposal was tabled in the city parliament by left-wing groups in 2018, but centre-right and right-wing parties forced a public ballot on it.
