Transparency in political funding - News

Two proposals will be put to the vote on 28 September 2025. Campaigners who spend more than CHF 50 000 must disclose their funding. The Swiss Federal Audit Office (SFAO) publishes the data reported by the campaigners at the latest until 30 days before the federal popular vote. The budgeted receipts are published in detail in SFAO’s electronic reporting register. At the time of reporting for both objects, an estimated total volume of CHF 8,34 million was disclosed. This total volume may include double counts. (see below)

The political actresses and actors are responsible for the accuracy of the information published.

Why is it not always possible to add together the disclosed amounts for individual campaigns?
If the criteria for a joint campaign are not met, each political actor discloses their individual campaign. In such cases, the same funds may sometimes be disclosed by different actors. If, for example, a campaigning organisation decides to provide funds from its campaign to another campaigning organisation, the receipts in question are correctly reported twice: once as own funds and once as a benefit.
