Swiss elections in 2023 include federal elections to the federal legislature and executive, federal referendums, cantonal elections in four cantons, cantonal referendums, and communal elections and votations in a number of municipalities.

Federal elections
The federal legislature, composed of the National Council and of the Council of States, will be renewed with an election on 22 October. Dates of runoffs for the the Council of States vary between the cantons. The federal executive, known as the Federal Council, will also be up for election.

National Council
All 200 seats of the National Council, the lower chamber of Switzerland's parliament, are up for election. They are elected in the cantons using proportional representation.

Council of States
All 46 seats of the Council of States, the upper chamber of Switzerland's parliament, will be renewed during the year. Most will be on 22 October (at the same time as the National Council election), with runoffs on various dates depending on the cantons; the canton of Appenzell-Innerrhoden will elect its member during the landesgemeinde in April.

Federal Council
All seven federal councilors are up for election. As of February 2023, none of the members have announced stepping down from the council; members are traditionally re-elected until resignation. Alain Berset, president for the year 2023 and member of the federal council since 2012, is the longest-serving member.

Federal referendums
Four dates are planned for federal referendums: 12 March, 18 June, 22 October, and 26 November; the third date coincides with federal elections. No referendums will be held on 12 March due to the absence of votations to be held on that day.
