Election of delegates (and deputies) representing the United States

 

Based on the number of registered Swiss living in our region – about 80,000 – the United States holds eight (8) seats on the CSA. The eight (8) seats are allocated as follows:

 

• Consular District New York/DC: Three (3) seats

• Consular District San Francisco: Three (3) seats

• Consular District Atlanta: Two (2) seats

 

The three (3) candidates for District New York and San Francisco, and the two (2) candidates for the District Atlanta who receive the highest number of votes will be elected as a full member of the CSA. Provided the mandate is accepted, the candidates with the forth (NY and SF), resp. third (ATL) highest number of votes will be elected deputy. If the mandate is refused, it shall go to the candidate next in line. The deputy has full voting rights at Council meetings when deputizing for a CSA delegate. The deputy is also encouraged to cooperate in CSA tasks as required. Should a seat become vacant mid-term, the deputy can assume the position of elected delegate for the remainder of the term. Delegates and deputies are elected for a term of four years with the current term expiring in August 2025.
