If you live in Switzerland, you do not need to register to vote in federal elections and popular votes. As soon as you meet the conditions for voting, you are automatically registered on the electoral roll of your commune of residence.
If you have not received the voting material for a popular vote three weeks before the vote, contact your commune to check where there is a problem.
