Voters in Washington, D.C. are heading to the polls to select party candidates for mayor and congressional delegate. This primary marks the first time in a generation that residents vote for both positions in the same election.

Swiss voters have rejected a proposal to cap the country's population at 10 million. The initiative, led by the right-wing Swiss People's Party, was seen as a move against migration. Preliminary results showed nearly 55% opposed the measure, with a turnout of almost 59%. Critics warned it could harm Switzerland's ties with the European Union.

Swiss democracy allows voters to directly influence policy through referendums, highlighting the country's unique approach to governance.
