Should we add the election of the president and vice-president on this page ? I thought so initially, but since it happens every year, it is not really coordinated with the general election of the Federal Council. What about the Chancellor ? It would seem reasonable, as it is part of the same election one every four years (see the last results here, for reference). Schutz (talk) 10:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The results of the elections for president and vice president are also not very interesting because these elections are not contested. Maybe a list somewhere (who was elected when with how many votes) would do. I agree that we should add the chancellor elections, though. Sandstein (talk) 16:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take care of adding the chancellor in this page. As for the president and vice-president, I agree with you, and List of Presidents of the Swiss Confederation is probably enough for now. Schutz (talk) 16:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, done. I've just noticed that there is a mistake in the page I cited above (supposed to be in English, but actually in French): the number of votes for Mrs Casanova is incorrect (123 instead of 124); the page in German and Italian is correct... I will email them. Schutz (talk) 22:35, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I recommend that we use the official parliamentary record as the source for election data, in this case: http://www.parlament.ch/ab/frameset/d/v/4801/260621/d_v_4801_260621_260669.htm. I'll have to re-check the figures for the election from that source once I have the time. Sandstein (talk) 06:37, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and double-checked for the Chancellor. Schutz (talk) 07:10, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source needed for detailed ballot figures[edit]

As noted by 1990'sguy, the cited source supports the number of votes received by each candidate (in bold) but does not speak to the more detailed ballot figures: votes received by other persons, votes cast, invalid votes, blank votes, and valid votes. Nor does it fully support the text introducing each table, with respect to which parties did or did not support the candidate. Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources that verify these statements. --Worldbruce (talk) 04:22, 27 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
