Four referendums were held in Switzerland during 1954.[1] The first two were held on 20 June on a federal resolution on concessions for shoemakers, saddlers, barbers and wainwrights and a federal resolution on assistance for war-affected Swiss citizens living abroad.[1] Both were rejected by voters.[1] The third was held on 24 October on a federal resolution on financial order between 1955 and 1958, and was approved by 70% of voters.[1] The fourth was held on 5 December on a popular initiative for the "protection of the Stromlandschaft and concession Rheinau", and was rejected by 69% of voters.[1]
