The Social Democrats, who focused their campaign on rejecting the People's Party proposal, have 43 seats, a drop of nine.
Some voters expressed disquiet.
"I'm very disappointed that the Swiss people fell for such an election campaign by the People's Party," said Matthias Weller, a 30-year-old physician in Zurich. "People don't realize that their campaign is just made with money. They don't have a program, except for cutting government spending."
