National Council constituency Freiburg-Mitte

The Friborg-Mitte National Council constituency was an electoral district in the Swiss National Council . It existed from 1881 to 1911 and covered the central part of the canton of Friborg .

Electoral process

This was a plural constituency. This means that although several seats had to be allocated, the majority voting system was used. 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 seats. Each voter had as many votes as there were seats to be allocated.

Name and number of seats

Freiburg-Mitte is an unofficial geographical name. In official use, consecutive numbering applied across the whole of Switzerland, arranged according to the order of the cantons in the Swiss Federal Constitution, was common . Due to the changing number over the years, some constituencies were given a new number several times. Freiburg-Mitte always wore the number 22.

Freiburg-Mitte always had 2 seats available.

The area of the constituency was determined by the “Federal Law on Elections to the National Council” of May 3, 1881. Parts of the constituencies Freiburg-Nord and Freiburg-Süd were merged. Freiburg-Mitte comprised:

the Broye district without the district of Dompierre (corresponds to the area of the three exclaves)
