Abstract

On October 24 and 25, 1931, the Swiss voters selected the members of their National Council for the next four years. The election was of unusual importance because the world-wide depression has created an economic crisis in Switzerland. Unemployment has been increasing, banks have been failing, and the national government has been piling up a deficit. A flood of candidates were in the field for the 187 seats now in the National Council (11 less than in the outgoing Council). Of the total of 740 candidates, 193 were nominated by the Independent Democrats, 141 by the Catholic Conservatives, 152 by the Socialists, 85 by the Peasants, 28 by the Liberal Democrats, 77 by the Communists, and 64 by the minor parties.
