Talk:2023 Swiss federal election

Originally published percentages have been corrected
While calculating national party strength, the federal government made a mistake. The error doesn't affect the apportionment of seats, but the percentages were incorrect, and it does affect the order of parties by nationwide electoral strength. (Media were speculating whether The Centre should now get two seats in the Federal Council, one of them at the FDP's expense, because it looked like those two parties had reversed positions 3 and 4 in terms of voter percentage, but the new numbers place The Centre in fourth place, just like at the elections four years ago). This is just a heads up, I currently don't have time to correct all the numbers. Sources (e.g.): Le Matin, Tages Anzeiger, Federal Council. ---Sluzzelin talk  12:55, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing this out. I just fixed it. --1990&#39;sguy (talk) 13:28, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
 * And I have added party vote totals as published on the updated data files issued by the Swiss government. Incidentally, I detected the mistake and its cause while working with the election results on the morning of Tuesday, October 24 (Puerto Rico time; Tuesday afternoon in Switzerland), documented it in detail on Twitter and notified the FSO of my findings; apparently they detected the issue at about the same time - or so they say.  At any rate, I had the corrected results up on Twitter almost a day before they updated them (links available upon request). Manuel Alvarez-Rivera (talk) 19:08, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
 * That is both hilarious and scary! Thanks, 1990'sguy and Manuel Alvarez-Rivera for the swift updates! ---Sluzzelin talk  23:50, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
