This is interesting. I'd expect it to be much higher -- it's a lot easier to get people to vote on straight referenda that don't involve personalities and clashing ideals. Only half the country could muster the energy to vote on a simple, binary question.Turnout is expected to be average at about 46%.

The Swiss have referendums like this every few months. That's why the turnout is usually low, especially when there is little uncertainty like this time.
