Home > List of Federal Chancellors of Switzerland

In Switzerland, the Federal Chancellor of Switzerland (Bundeskanzler, Chancelier fédéral, Cancelliere della Confederazione) is elected by the Swiss parliament. One or two Vice-Chancellors are also chosen (before 1862 as State Secretary of the Confederation).

Although the appointment is political, the duties are technocratic; he or she heads the Federal Chancellery, the general staff of the seven-member executive Federal Council which is the Swiss government. The Chancellor attends meetings of the seven Federal Councilors, though without a vote, and prepares the reports on policy and activities of the council to parliament. The chancellery is responsible for the publication of all federal laws.
