Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal vote had to be annulled because private campaign propaganda misled voters and the authorities failed to intervene.
Solution extraite
The vote could not be annulled. The misleading statements were countered by opponents and public information, and the official voting materials made the initiative's scope sufficiently clear.
Motifs extraits
Private campaign speech is protected and only exceptionally justifies annulment. Here, organized counter-campaigns, press corrections, and the abstention booklet enabled informed voting; the authorities had no duty to intervene.
