Image description

Women are surrounded and photographed by men while casting their ballots on the question of compulsory civil service for women in Unterbaech in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, on March 3, 1957. Paul Zenhaeusern, the president of the municipality, stands in the background on the left. The municipal council had decided to give women the right to vote for the first time. The women were required to cast their ballot papers in a separate box. However, the ballot for this municipality was revoked by the government of the canton of Valais and the Federation. The majority of cantons implemented female suffrage on the municipal and cantonal level in 1971.
