Lucerne-South National Council constituency
The Lucerne-South National Council electoral district was an electoral district in the Swiss National Council . It existed from 1851 to 1872 and covered the southern part of the canton of Lucerne .
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
Luzern-Süd 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. From 1851 onwards, when a uniform federal law was applied for the first time, Lucerne-South had the number 11.
Lucerne-South always had 2 seats available.
