Federal elections are scheduled to be held in Switzerland in 2019.
Electoral system
The 200 members of the National Council are elected from 26 constituencies based on the 26 cantons. Five are single-member constituencies in which seats are elected by first-past-the-post voting in five single-member constituencies; the remaining 21 are multi-member constituencies, in which members are elected by open list proportional representation; voters can cross out names on party lists, split their vote between parties (a system known as panachage) or draw up their own list on a blank ballot. Seats are allocated using the Hagenbach-Bischoff system.[1]
The 46 members of the Council of States are elected in 20 two-seat constituencies (representing the 20 full cantons) and six single-member constituencies (representing the six half-cantons). In Jura and Neuchâtel the elections were held using proportional representation, whilst the other 24 use the majority system.[2]
