Exercise of political rights

1 The Confederation shall regulate the exercise of political rights in federal matters, and the Cantons shall regulate their exercise at cantonal and communal matters.

2 Political rights are exercised in the commune in which a citizen resides, although the Confederation and the Cantons may provide for exceptions.

3 No person may exercise their political rights contemporaneously in more than one Canton.

4 A Canton may provide that a person newly registered as a resident may exercise the right to vote in cantonal and communal matters only after a waiting period of a maximum of three months of permanent settlement.
