Voting On Sex Booths!

Public referendums are an interesting way to allow citizens to have a direct vote and say on a particular issue. At times referendum issues can get a little strange such as the recent Los Angeles vote on whether porn stars should be required to wear a condom in adult videos. Requiring the wearing of condoms in adult videos passed with 56 percent of the vote.

The condom vote pales in comparison to a recent referendum put up for a vote in Switzerland. In March of this year voters in Zurich Switzerland passed a referendum requiring the expenditure of tax dollars to build drive-in sex boothsin an effort to move legalized prostitution out of public view. The building of sex booths passed with 52% of citizens in favor. Similar booths are in existence in the Netherlands and Germany.

Wow who says voting can’t be interesting!
