Gules a Monastery Argent.
Zeljko Heimer, 30 March 2002
The flag of Moutier is canting with its monastery (in French moutier or
monastère).
Pascal Gross, 26 March 2002
On 28 March 2021, the citizens of Moutier are called for a vote to decide
whether they want to remain in the Bern canton or to be incorporated in the Jura
canton.
An earlier vote organized on 16 June 2017 was nullified by the
Administrative Court because of several irregularities.
The municipal
administration of Moutier expected the vote to be held on 9 May, while the
Executive Council of the Bern canton proposed an earlier date, 7 February.
Tripartite negotiation organized by the Federal Office of Justice, yielded a
compromise.

To support the incorporation of Moutier to Jura, the municipality of
Delémont, the capital of Jura, has released a Flag of Jura with "MOUTIER" added
in white letters on the fifth stripe of the flag, which "historically represents
the Moutier district".
