Eligible voters would largely vote the same way today as in 2023
Swiss voting trends have shown little change since the 2023 National Council elections. However, shifts in support between parties reveal subtle but notable patterns. Age, gender, and education all play a role in shaping political preferences across the country.
The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) remains the top choice for voters aged 30 to 59. Meanwhile, the Centre holds the strongest appeal among those 60 and older. Among younger voters (18-29), the Greens lead, though the SVP and SP share equal popularity in this age group.
Women tend to favour the SP and Greens, while men lean more toward the SVP and FDP. Highly educated young women, in particular, show a clear preference for left-wing and green parties. Voters without a university degree, on the other hand, are more likely to back the SVP.
Support has shifted slightly since 2023. Around 10% of former Green voters now consider the SP, while 4% of SVP voters are looking at smaller parties. The SVP has also gained ground among previous FDP and Centre supporters. Additionally, some voters who once backed the SP, FDP, or Centre now prefer the Green Liberal Party (GLP).
Overall, Swiss party loyalties remain largely stable. But small movements between parties suggest evolving priorities among different voter groups. These gradual changes could influence future election outcomes.
