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 April 12, 1964, a female voter surrendered her voting card at a polling station in Zurich that had been set up in a classroom.
