Do you want to polish your knowledge about Swiss elections, referendums and parties, while at the same time learning more about the quirks of the country’s political system?

Course content
Our course teaches you who’s eligible to vote in Switzerland, what the different parties stand for, how election and popular vote results are implemented, what distinguishes Swiss democracy from other political systems, and more.
Interactive
Our crash course is interactive – like democracy itself. Your questions will be answered on a FAQ page, and you can debate with other users and share your inputs and opinions.

We provide links to multimedia articles and videos to help you to better understand the Swiss democratic system.
