A referendum on the financing of a new public hospital in Vaduz was held in Liechtenstein on 24 November 2019. [1] The proposal was approved by 56% of voters.
Background
In 2011 a referendum was held after the Landtag voted to build a new hospital in Vaduz at a cost of 83 million Swiss francs, which would have been financed by a loan. [1] Voters rejected the proposal by 58% to 42%.
Following the referendum, a commission was set up to implement a new, more modest project, as the cost of the hospital was deemed to be the primary reason for the rejection. [2] The new proposal would cost 65.5 million Swiss francs, also financed by a loan. [3] The Landtag voted in favour of the proposal on 5 September 2019 by a margin of 17-8, with MPs subsequently voting to make the loan conditional on a favourable result in a new referendum.
The vote took the form of an optional referendum of parliamentary origin on a budgetary issue; under Article 66 of the Constitution, the budget allocated by the Landtag is the subject of a request for a unanimous vote by the deputies. [4]
