Cantonal Parliaments are legislative bodies in the cantons of Switzerland. Each canton has its own parliament, which is responsible for creating laws, managing budgets, and overseeing local government functions. The structure and powers of these parliaments can vary from one canton to another, reflecting the unique needs and preferences of their populations. Members of Cantonal Parliaments are elected by the citizens of the canton, typically through a proportional representation system. These parliaments play a crucial role in the Swiss political system, as they address regional issues and contribute to the overall governance of the country, working alongside the federal government.
