Ticino constituency of the National Council

The Ticino National Council constituency is a constituency for elections to the Swiss National Council that includes the entire Canton of Ticino . It existed from 1848 to 1851 and has existed again since 1919.

Origin and electoral process

The constituency was formed in 1848. At that time, the majority vote 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 the seats; each voter had as many votes as there were seats to be allocated.

In 1851 there was a division into the two constituencies of Ticino North and Ticino South . These were merged again in 1919. Since then, proportional voting has been applied, in which the seats are allocated to the lists available for selection in proportion to all votes cast.

Number of seats

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

• 1848 to 1851: 6 seats
• 1919 to 1931: 8 seats
• 1931 to 1971: 7 seats
• since 1971: 8 seats
