Council of States terms and election dates are governed by canton; there is no nationwide general renewal. This record is the referenced election-year composition, not a simultaneous nationwide ballot. Votes, shares and national turnout remain null. Year precision is intentional and January 1 is only a sorting anchor. Historical group classifications follow this source rather than later party affiliation. Any mandates not accounted for by its table remain unassigned.
