Post your ballots on time

Wednesday, 4 March 2026 06:30

If you’re voting by post this weekend - get your ballot in the mail.

The post office is warning that if you want your vote to be counted, make sure it’s in the mail by tomorrow at the latest - and sent by priority post. 

One postal worker told the 20 Minutes newspaper that every Monday after a voting weekend, hundreds of ballots arrive. 

While they are always sent to the relevant municipality - they won’t be counted.

This Sunday there are several federal votes, many local votes and an election in canton Vaud.
