Where the Federal Assembly decides to submit a counter-proposal, three questions are put to the voters on the same ballot paper. Each person who is eligible to vote may state, without reservation:
whether they prefer the popular initiative to the law currently applicable;
whether they prefer the counter-proposal to the law currently applicable;
which of the two proposals should become law where both the People and the cantons prefer both proposals to the law currently applicable.
The absolute majority shall be established separately for each question. Questions that have not been answered shall be disregarded.
Where both the popular initiative and the counter-proposal are accepted, the result of the third question shall be decisive. The proposal that secures a higher number of popular votes and a higher number of cantonal votes shall become law.
