1914 Swiss federal election

The 189 members of the National Council were elected in 49 single- and multi-member constituencies using a three-round system. Candidates had to receive a majority in the first or second round to be elected; if it went to a third round, only a plurality was required. Voters could cast as many votes as there were seats in their constituency.^[1] There was one seat for every 20,000 citizens, with seats allocated to cantons in proportion to their population.^[1]

Voter turnout was highest in Aargau at 85.9% (higher than the 78.7% in Schaffhausen where voting was compulsory) and lowest in Zug at 21.2%.
