Political parties/Switzerland

List of the digital resources of the Swiss parties.

A note on the national vs cantonal distinction: since only the canton of Ticino is Italian-speaking (apart from a few valleys in Graubünden), there often are no separate Italian resources on the national level. In those cases, the corresponding pages for the Ticinese party are instead included at the top level of the sections. If there are however Italian national sites, the Ticinese ones are in the canton subsection.

Parties are sorted here by their German name if the party exists in the German part of Switzerland, or by the local name for regional parties. The page is further split into parties that exist in two or more cantons and those that are specific to one canton or even smaller regions.
