Baselland says yes to Corona rental assistance – national bills rejected

The final results of the canton of Baselland have arrived. After counting the 86 municipalities, it is clear: the law on contributions to commercial income in the crisis of the Crown will be approved with 55.24 percent of votes in favor.

National initiatives on corporate responsibility and a ban on financing war materiel producers are clearly rejected.

Basel-based businesses are likely to receive rental subsidies from Corona

Stores that were badly hit by the first wave of the Crown crisis will be backed retrospectively with rent relief in the canton of Basel-Landschaft. A yes to the so-called three-thirds model is emerging.

After counting 73 of the 86 municipalities in Basel-biet, 27,073 yes 23,417 no. This results in a 53.62 percent voting share.

Under the three-thirds model, the canton pays one-third of the rent if the landlord renounces one-third of the rental income. The tenant of the commercial premises still has the last third.

District President Ackermann is satisfied with the tip decision.

Shortly after the interim results were announced, Elisabeth Ackermann commented on the presentations from the city of Basel in a video. She is relieved by the emerging yes to the tip initiative: “Of course I am pleased that the people of Basel have spoken out in favor of broad cultural support.” Now you have to talk to the initiators about the concrete implementation of the template.

Strict decision on the protection of housing

There is still no clear trend in the housing protection law: currently 50.29 percent of the Basel electorate is in favor of the Grand Council resolution on amending the housing allowance law. 49.71 percent are against. This race is still exciting.

  • Resolution of the Grand Council on Amendments to the Housing Subsidies Act (Housing Subsidies Act, WRFG)
    YES votes: 27,485 (50.29%)
    NO votes: 27,165 (49.71%)
Basel-Stadt: trend yes to the initiative of the basin 3 of the port and the tip

The first provisional results for the canton of Basel-Stadt are here. In the vote on the port 3 basin, a yes came up. According to the previous count, 57.36 percent of the voters support the realization of the port basin.

  • Resolution of the Grand Council regarding the concession of expenses for the realization of the port basin 3
    YES votes: 32,213 (57.36%)
    NO votes: 23,945 (42.64%)

Things are looking good for the tip initiative too:

  • Cantonal Initiative “Strengthening Basel’s Active Youth Culture: Tip Initiative”
    Votes IN FAVOR: 31,588 (57.40%)
    NO votes: 23,446 (42.60%)
Initiative No to War Agreements: Corporate Responsibility Template Remains Open

The first national extrapolation to national submissions shows: In the case of the war agreements initiative, one is not at the polls, as SRF reports. No trend is yet expected in the corporate responsibility initiative.

You can still vote until 12 noon
High electoral turnout in Basel-Stadt

The Basel electorate also goes to the polls in the second ballot for the government and for national and cantonal proposals. About 40 percent have already mailed their vote-by-mail ballots or deposited them directly with city hall. That’s almost 10 percent more than at the same time four years ago. With the group responsibility initiative and the vote on the port 3 basin, a hot iron will be decided at both the national and cantonal levels.
