National Council constituency of Geneva

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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

Electoral process

Major elections were 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. Proportional suffrage has been used since 1919 , in which the seats are allocated to the lists available for selection in proportion to all votes cast.

Name and number of seats

During the Majorz era, in official use, consecutive numbering was used throughout Switzerland, arranged according to the order of the cantons in the Swiss Federal Constitution . From 1851 the constituency of Geneva was number 49, from 1863 number 47, from 1872 number 48, from 1881 number 49, from 1890 number 52 and from 1902 number 49; the numbering has not been used since 1919.

Due to the population development, the number of seats available to the Geneva constituency varied:

  • 1848 to 1863: 3 seats
  • 1863 to 1881: 4 seats
  • 1881 to 1902: 5 seats
  • 1902 to 1911: 7 seats
  • 1911 to 1922: 8 seats
  • 1922 to 1931: 9 seats
  • 1931 to 1963: 8 seats
  • 1963 to 1971: 10 seats
  • 1971 to 2019: 11 seats
  • since 2019: 12 seats
