The Federal Government Publishes Incorrect Numbers: This Is How the Internet Mocks the Election Error

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

1/6
Target of ridicule: BFS director Georges-Simon Ulrich had to explain himself at a media conference on Wednesday.

Embarrassing: The party’s strengths in the National Council elections published by the federal government on Sunday were wrong. The Federal Statistical Office (BfS) established this during quality checks. The correction has no impact on the seat distribution.

The reason for the error: incorrect programming in the data import program for the three cantons Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Glarus. These cantons provided their data in a different format than the others. This outage caused a lot of ridicule online.

Leftists have reason to be happy

While the FDP is on The party responds smugly towards the BfS: “We know that counting is difficult.”

Sandro Brotz (54), arena presenter at SRF, speaks of a “super glitch”. He can’t help but say something either.

Green Party Chairman Glättli does not rule out resigning

There is reason to be happy for the SP, whose voter share is increasing due to the new figures. Co-party chairman Cedric Wermuth (37) does not need words to express his feelings.

The share of voters among the Greens is also increasing. The party chairman Balthasar Glättli (51), who recently got into trouble, takes the opportunity to shoot against the SVP.

“Austrianization of Switzerland”

The fact that a technical glitch was the reason for the error raises comments about the status of digitalization in Switzerland. Political activist Daniel Graf writes: “The digital transformation remains a challenge for federalism.”

Others are reminded of a new election debacle: author and journalist Benjamin von Wyl writes on X about an “Austrianization of Switzerland”. He is referring to an accident last June: in Austria, the wrong candidate was chosen as the winner in the election for SPÖ chairman due to a counting error. (bab)
