Switzerland Woman Voting Zurich, 1964 (b/w photo)

For the first time, Swiss citizens residing in the canton of Zurich will be able to vote, since the church legislation adopted last year gives women the right to vote and be elected in church matters. The Reformed pastors must be reconfirmed in their ministry, in some parishes also the Catholic clergy. In addition, Protestant voters in the city of Zurich will have to agree on a loan of 1.65 million francs for the renovation of the Predigerkirche. The template is approved. On 12 April 1964, a female voter with a sister's hood threw her ballot papers into the urn in a polling station in Zurich, which had been set up in a classroom.
