Appenzell Ausserrhoden electoral district

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The National Council constituency of Appenzell Ausserrhoden is an electoral district for elections to the Swiss National Council . It covers the entire canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden and has existed since 1848.

Electoral process

Until 1869, the national councils were elected to the Landsgemeinde . After that, the majority suffrage was used until 1917 . In the sense of the Romansh majority election , a candidate needed an absolute majority of the votes in order to be elected. Several ballots may have been necessary to distribute all the seats; each voter had as many votes as there were seats to be allocated. From 1919 to 1999, proportional representation was used , in which the seats were allocated to the lists available for selection in proportion to all votes cast. The majority procedure has been in force again since 2003.
