Are you a Swiss citizen living abroad and would like to know what political rights you are entitled to and how you can exercise them?

Then we cordially invite you to the third and last for this year joint webinar organised by the Consular Directorate of the FDFA, the Organisation of the Swiss Abroad (OSA) SwissCommunity and Soliswiss – Cooperative of Swiss Abroad.

Voting, electing, collecting signatures: we will show you what options are available today and take a look at the future. We address the following questions in particular:

• What political rights do Swiss citizens living abroad have and how are these currently exercised?

• What obstacles exist?

• Who is responsible for what?

• Where does Switzerland currently stand on E-Voting and E-Collecting and what does the future hold?

Speakers

In addition to experts from the FDFA, the OSA and Soliswiss, an expert from the Federal Chancellery and representatives from Swiss Post will also be present.
