Candidates had to receive a majority in the first or second round to be elected; if it went to a third round, only a plurality was required. Voters could cast as many votes as there were seats in their constituency. There was one seat for every 20,000 citizens, with seats allocated to cantons in proportion to their population.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p1886 9783832956097 Results National Council Voter turnout was highest in Schaffhausen (where voting was compulsory) at 91.5% and lowest in Zug at 17.5%. 300px Radical Left 41.8 74 0 Free Democratic Party of Switzerland Catholic Right 20.0 29 –6 Christian Democratic People's Party of Switzerland Liberal Centre 16.8 27 +7 Liberal Party of Switzerland Democratic Group 10.3 16 +1 Social Democratic Party 5.9 1 0 Evangelical Right 4.0 0 –2 Evangelical People's Party of Switzerland Independents 1.2 0 0 391610 0 670948 BFS (seats) By constituency ConstituencySeatsPartySeatswonElected membersZürich 16Liberal Centre3*Hans Konrad Pestalozzi Konrad Cramer Ulrich Meister Jr.Democratic Group2*Carl Theodor Curti Johann Jakob SchäppiSocial Democratic Party1Jakob VogelsangerZürich 24Liberal Centre3*Johann Jakob Abegg Johannes Eschmann Hans WunderliDemocratic Group1Heinrich HessZürich 34Democratic Group4*Rudolf Geilinger Ludwig Forrer Albert Locher Albert KündigZürich 43Democratic Group2*Johannes Moser Friedrich ScheuchzerLiberal Centre1Heinrich SteinemannBern 55Radical Left5*Matthäus Zurbuchen Arnold Gottlieb Bühler Johann Jakob Rebmann Franz Neuhaus Gottfried FellerBern 65Radical Left3*Rudolf Brunner Johann Jenny Eduard MüllerEvangelical Right2*Edmund von Steiger Ernst WyssBern 74Radical Left4*Fritz Bühlmann Adolf Müller Gottfried Joost Gottlieb BergerBern 84Radical Left3*Hans Dinkelmann Emil Moser Gottfried BangerterBern People's Party1Ulrich BurkhalterBern 94Radical Left4*Eduard Bähler Johannes Zimmermann Eduard Marti Rudolf HäniBern 103Radical Left3*Pierre Jolissaint Albert Gobat Joseph StockmarBern 112Catholic Right1Joseph ChoquardRadical Left1Henri CuenatLucerne 122Radical Left2*Hermann Heller Josef VonmattLucerne 133Catholic Right3*Josef Erni Candid Hochstrasser Theodor SchmidLucerne 142Catholic Right2*Josef Anton Schobinger Franz Xaver BeckUri 151Catholic Right1Franz SchmidSchwyz 163Catholic Right3*Vital Schwander Sr. Fridolin Holdener Nikolaus BenzigerObwalden 171Catholic Right1Peter Anton MingNidwalden 181Catholic Right1Hans von Matt Sr.Glarus 192Democratic Group1Kaspar SchindlerLiberal Centre1Rudolf GallatiZug 201Catholic Right1Franz HedigerFribourg 212Liberal Centre1Louis de DiesbachRadical Left1Constant DinichertFribourg 222Catholic Right2*Paul Aeby Louis de WuilleretFribourg 232Catholic Right2*Louis Grand Alphonse ThéraulazSolothurn 244Radical Left3*Joseph Gisi Albert Brosi Wilhelm VigierLiberal Centre1Bernard HammerBasel-Stadt 254Liberal Centre2*Paul Speiser Emil BischoffRadical Left2*Ernst Brenner Hermann KinkelinBasel-Landschaft 263Radical Left3*Johannes Suter Emil Frey Jakob BuserSchaffhausen 272Radical Left2*Wilhelm Joos Robert GrieshaberAppenzell Ausserrhoden 283Liberal Centre3*Johannes Zuberbühler Johann Jakob Sturzenegger Johann Konrad EisenhutAppenzell Innerhoden 291Liberal Centre1Karl Justin SondereggerSt. Gallen 302Radical Left1Karl Emil WildDemocratic Group1J.
