Image description

Paul Zenhaeusern, the president of the municipality of Unterbaech in the canton of Valais, Switzerland, provides voting boxes for the ballot on the question of compulsory civil service for women at the polling station on March 3, 1957. The women were required to cast their ballot papers in a separate box. However, the ballot for this municipality was revoked by the government of the canton of Valais and the Federation. The majority of cantons implemented female suffrage on the municipal and cantonal level in 1971.
