List of cantonal executives of Switzerland

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article lists the cantonal executives of Switzerland. Each canton of Switzerland has its own executive body, as well as legislative body. The Federal Council is the executive of the Swiss federal government, and is included for purposes of comparison.

The cantonal executives are collegial bodies, each with 5 or 7 members. They are generally called Regierungsrat (Executive Council) in German-speaking cantons and Conseil d'État (State Council) in French-speaking cantons.

List[]

The below list is up to date as of 17 February 2021.[needs update]

Presidents of the executives[]

In Switzerland the presidency of the cantonal (and the federal) governments functions as primus inter pares. That means that they preside over meetings and can cast tie breaking votes but other than that are equally powerful members of the executive. If nothing else is noted the official name of the office of president of the cantonal executive is president.

The noted elections can but do not have to directly elect the president. If so the president remains president for all 4 years between elections (e.g. Basel-Stadt). In the other cantons the presidency rotates according to seniority (e.g. Zürich).

Elections[]

The date of the elections is not the same as the date of the start of the tenure. For example the elections in the Canton Aargau were held in 2020 but the tenure of the new Executive began on 1 January 2021.
