People in Switzerland have voted to relax the country's strict citizenship rules, making it easier for third-generation immigrants to become Swiss. <br/><br/>Initial projections suggest that 59% of Swiss voters said yes to simplifying the rules. Being born in Switzerland does not guarantee citizenship. Non-Swiss residents must typically wait 12 years before applying. <br/><br/>The new proposal will exempt third-generation immigrants, who are born in Switzerland and whose parents and grandparents lived permanently in Switzerland, from interviews and tests in the naturalisation process.<br/><br/>Supporters of the plan to simplify the process argue that it is ridiculous to ask people who were born and have lived all their lives in Switzerland to prove that they are integrated.
