Switzerland has voted in favor of increasing the retirement pension to include a 13th monthly payment in a referendum on Sunday, El.kz cites amp.dw.com.
Provisional official results published by the government showed over 58% of voters backed the measure, with less than 42% against.
The initiative also won in a majority of Switzerland's 26 cantons, giving it the double majority needed to pass.
Pensioners' group AVIVO said the result was "a historic day for retirees."
