BernSwiss voters decide Sunday whether to write neutrality into the constitution.
A Yes would bar defence cooperation with military alliances unless Switzerland is attacked.
The initiative would also bar sanctions the UN has not approved, curbing Bern’s adoption of EU measures against Russia.
A GFS Bern poll for broadcaster SRG found 63% opposed and 34% in favour.
Passage needs a majority of voters and a majority of cantons.
