The Federal Council may only reach a decision if at least four of its members are present.
Decisions are taken by a majority vote. Federal Councillors are permitted to abstain from voting but a valid decision requires the votes of at least three members.
The chairperson of the Federal Council takes part in the vote. In the event of a tie, his or her vote is worth double. This does not apply in the case of elections.
