Contents
Popular votes
The approximately 200 proposals submitted to the vote of the People since 1991 can either be retrieved chronologically by decade and date or searched in a 12-topic menu (with numerous sub-topics). The voter participation during each popular vote weekend can also be retrieved.
National Council elections
The maps of the 25 National Council elections since 1919 show the electoral strength of the political parties and the number of votes garnered by the most important parties and party groups. Voter participation is also visualised cartographically.
Our general Atlas Homepage contains a detailed List of Contents. From there you can also access individual thematic maps directly.
