Where do I vote on the federal?

This post is also available in French and Arabic.

You don’t — there are no federal elections (Article 27).

You vote only in your Canton, for your Cantonal Parliament (Article 28a): every citizen aged 18 or over votes, in general, direct, free, equal and secret elections, every four years.

The Federal Parliament is not elected separately — it is made up of the members of the Cantonal Parliaments, who sit in it automatically.
