Three referendums were held in Switzerland in 1882.[1] Two were held on 30 July on copyright law and measures against epidemics, both of which were rejected.[1] The third was held on 26 November on executing article 27 of the federal constitution, and was rejected by 64.9% of voters.[1]
The referendums on epidemics and the constitution were optional referendums,[1] which meant that only a majority of the public vote was required for the proposals to be approved. The referendum on copyright law was a mandatory referendum,[1] which required both a majority of voters and cantons to approve the proposals.[2]
