Switzerland heads to the polls in a landmark vote on whether to replace compulsory military service for men with a universal civic duty for all citizens. Supporters say it promotes “true equality” and strengthens national resilience, while critics argue it adds to women’s unpaid workload and could double defence costs. Voters are also deciding on a separate plan to impose a 50 percent inheritance tax on estates over 50 million Swiss francs to fund climate action. Polls indicate both measures face steep opposition.
