A by-election to the Swiss Federal Council was held on 20 September 2017, after federal councillor Didier Burkhalter (FDP-NE) announced he would leave the Council effective 31 October 2017.[1][2] The by-election resulted in the election of Ignazio Cassis (FDP-TI), resulting in no change in the partisan composition of the council.
The election of the President of the Confederation was later held on 6 December 2017, choosing Alain Berset (SP-FR) as president for the year 2018, following the expected rotating order of the ceremonial presidency.
