Three referendums were held in Switzerland in 1982.[1] The first two were held on 6 June on an amendment to the Swiss penal code, which was approved, and on a new law on foreigners, which was narrowly rejected.[1] The last were held on 28 November on a popular initiative "for the prevention of abusive prices", alongside a counter-proposal. The initiative was approved and the counter-proposal rejected.[1]
