(1) If the Federal Assembly draws up a counter-draft, three questions shall be submitted to the voters on the same ballot paper. Every voter can state unreservedly
1) whether he prefers the popular initiative to the law in force;
2) whether he prefers the counter-draft to the law in force;
3) which of the two texts should enter into force if the people and the Cantons prefer both texts to the law in force.
(2) The absolute majority shall be determined for each question separately. Unanswered questions shall not count.
(3) If both the popular initiative and the counter-draft are accepted, the result of the third question shall decide the issue. The text which obtains more of the people's and Cantons' votes on this question shall come into force. If, on the other hand, one text obtains more of the people's votes and the other more of the Cantons' votes, then neither of the texts shall come into force.
