- Covers the four objects of 29 November 2026 (swissvotes 690–693). The booklet is the Federal Council’s explanation: the points on /outlook take only its description of what would change, not its arguments or recommendation. At the editorial deadline Parliament had not decided whether the special VAT rate for accommodation is extended beyond 2027 (footnote 4, p. 16), so the 3.8 % → 4 % figure may change. The official English pages on admin.ch give only a short summary; on the English married-couples page the figure "CHF 680 million" differs from the range in the booklet (680 million to 3 billion francs a year), so Votara cites the booklet. The Italian text on p. 54 (war materiel) reads "o" where DE, FR, the Italian summary on p. 10 and the law text (Art. 22b) have "and".
