The National Council validated Theo Fischer-Sursee’s election to replace Josi Meier, who had been elected to the Council of States, after the bureau confirmed he was the highest-voted substitute candidate and that no incompatibility existed. He then took the oath. In question hour, the Federal Council answered that the revised RM-39 was about to be submitted in the CSCE Madrid negotiations and that a European disarmament conference was in principle agreed, while Switzerland favored it for transparency reasons. It also explained that UNICEF’s Geneva supply division was being transferred to Copenhagen as part of rationalization measures.
Election validation; verification of eligibility and absence of incompatibility. Where the competent bureau establishes that the elected substitute candidate is the highest-voted replacement on the list, has been duly declared elected by the cantonal government and published, and no incompatibility with the parliamentary mandate exists, the plenary may validate the election without further contestation. The taking of the oath follows upon validation. Question hour answers are informational and do not create dispositive judicial effects.
