Hi! The Swiss parliament's web site has written the turn out was 48.9%. In the article is written that it was 49.92%. I think the Swiss Parliament's source is the most accurate. SkafaTell me 00:00, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Election statistics
Given that Swiss voters may vote for as many candidates as their Canton elects deputies, I am curious to know how these national party voting figures were derived. They do not appear at the link given at the foot of the table as the source. I have asked Intangible, who uploaded the figures, where he/she got them from. If no explanation is forthcoming, I will delete them as either unsourced or original research. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 09:26, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
As I advised above, I have removed the results table since no source has been provided for the figures contained in it. I do not see how it is possible to provide aggregate figures for the party vote when Swiss voters can cast multiple votes. Until it is explained where these figures come from and how they were derived they should not be included. Polling figures by Canton are available here: http://psephos.adam-carr.net/countries/s/switzerland/
