Comment

For the legislative election (2011) the certified results were presented after 43 days.

In Switzerland, up to 4 votes a year take place. Persons who are eligible to vote may accept or reject a proposal made by one or more persons or an authority. They vote on popular initiatives and on referendums (mandatory and optional). The last validated vote on a optional referendum took place on the 24 November 2013. The validation of the results by the Federal Council took place on the 20 February 2014. For the verification, the Federal Council has to wait until it is established that no appeal against the vote has been filed with the Federal Supreme Court, or as soon as a decision has been made on such an appeal.
