On October 18, 2015 voters will elect a new Swiss parliament for a statutory four-year term. How much change will it bring to Switzerland's multiparty system? What are the main topics of the campaign in the run-up to election day? Seats are allocated using the Hagenbach-Bischoff system. The 46 members of the Council of States are elected in 20 two-seat constituencies (representing the 20 full cantons) and six single-member constituencies (representing the six half-cantons). In Jura and Neuchâtel the elections are held using proportional representation, whilst the other 24 use the majority system. Compulsory voting is in force in some cantons for both elections.
