Switzerland Landsgemeinde Nidwalden | In Retrospect
On 1 December 1996, the voters abolished the Nidwalde Landsgemeinde at the ballot box with 70 percent in favour. The NZZ summed up: "In the end, no majority wanted to believe in the Landsgemeinde, the original form of democracy, which, according to its supporters, promotes a sense of home and togetherness. With 7383 votes against 3263, the voters of Nidwalden had decided against their age-old tradition. We look back on the years when the Landsgemeinde procession with drums, cantonal flag, national sword and Helmihorn led through Stans, past the Winkelried monument, to the historic ring in Wyl an der Aa.
