Democracy.
Difficult, but pretty epic.
In PROJEKT CH+, we are developing apps for more transparency in Swiss democracy – together with people from all over Switzerland.
With the CH+App, we focus on clear overviews and intuitive operation. You can create your political dream team by swiping, dragging and dropping, likes and dislikes.

Voter turnout for the 2023 Federal Elections
Voter turnout in federal elections in Switzerland has been below 50% for years. There are major differences between the age groups.
The lowest voter turnout in Switzerland is among eligible voters aged 18 to 34.
With 29% voter turnout, people between 18 and 24 are the least likely to vote. The chart shows what percentage of the respective age group took part in the 2023 elections.

Better from one election to the next
Since the 2019 federal elections, PROJEKT CH+ has been on the road at various cantonal elections to develop the applications: A democratic approach for a democratic project.
After all, it works best when you work together – and preferably across different disciplines. If that sounds good to you, you’ve come to the right place!

Federal Elections 2023
Just imagine: During elections, you have the information and tools you need to choose your candidates in no time at all. After the elections, you can easily stay up to date on who has been elected and how the elected people are performing in office – and it’s all child’s play. OH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DREAM! Wouldn’t it be great if someone actually developed this…
ah MOMENT.
That’s what we’re doing right now! HAH!
In October 2023, the CH+App and DOPE Elections could be used throughout Switzerland for the first time. We are currently developing new functions that show what elected people do in office.
Co-Design: PROJEKT CH+ at a glance
Our two voting aids are currently being expanded into democracy apps that allow you to easily check what is going on in our democracy even outside of ongoing elections.
We are currently busy raising funds to continue the project.
The latest test instructions and surveys are linked here. The last feedback round took place in April 2024 in the canton of Uri.
Until the next development round starts, you can find us on social media at @projektchplus. You can also send us a message at info@projektchplus.ch at any time or subscribe to our newsletter to make sure you don’t miss anything.
We look forward to seeing you!
Well, are you in?
