Border towns in France are once again asking residents working in Geneva to register - and it's important.
The census feeds into the Geneva financial compensation system, under which the canton redistributes hundreds of millions of francs each year to neighbouring regions.
In 2025 alone, payments reached a record level - last year it was nearly CHF 400m - the money funds local services from transport to schools.
While most cross-border workers are counted automatically, Swiss and dual nationals must declare themselves by mid-May to ensure their municipality receives its share.
