Geneva | Switzerland on Sunday (Monday AEDT) became the latest European country to ban the wearing of face coverings in public places, prohibiting the veils worn by Muslim women.
Official results of the nationwide referendum showed 51.2 per cent of voters supported the ban on full facial coverings, which was proposed by the populist, anti-immigrant Swiss People’s Party (SVP), compared with 48.8 per cent opposing it, a much narrower margin of victory than pollsters had initially predicted.

The initiative, started long before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, makes exceptions for facial coverings worn at religious sites and for security or health purposes, but also bans coverings like the ski masks worn by protesters. Officials have two years to write legislation to put the ban into effect.
Swiss voters back proposal to ban full-face veils in public places

Voters in Switzerland backed a proposal on Sunday to ban full facial coverings in public places, despite women in Islamic full-face veils being an exceptionally rare sight in Swiss streets. Official results showed that 51.21 percent of voters, and a majority of federal Switzerland s cantons, supported the proposal.
Even though the proposal Yes to a ban on full facial coverings does not mention the burka or the niqab – which leaves the eyes uncovered – there is no doubt what the debate concerns. Campaign posters reading Stop radical Islam! and Stop extremism! , featuring a woman in a black niqab, have been plastered around Swiss cities.
