2009 Liechtenstein referendums

Three referendums were held in Liechtenstein during 2009.[1] The first two were held on 29 March and concerned reforming level I of secondary schooling, which was rejected by voters and the authorization of smoking rooms in restaurants, which was approved.[2] The third was held on 6 December on a law introduced in May 2008 which placed a stricter upper level on the electromagnetic field from phone masts, and was confirmed by voters[3] and was approved by 57% of voters.[1]
