Elections to the federal parliament of Switzerland, the Swiss Federal Assembly, will be held on October 21, 2007. For the 48th legislative term of the federal parliament (2007-2011), voters in 26 cantons will elect all 200 members of the National Council as well as 43 out of 46 members of the Council of States. The other three members of the Council of States for that term of service are elected at an earlier date.[1]
In December 2007, the newly elected legislature will elect the Swiss federal government, the Swiss Federal Council, for a four-year-term.

- ^ The date of the election of the members of the Council of States is a matter of cantonal law. 24 cantons have chosen to let the elections coincide with the federally regulated National Council elections. Two cantons are electing their members of the Council of States at an earlier date: Zug reelected its incumbents Peter Bieri and Rolf Schweiger on 29 October 2006, while Appenzell Innerrhoden will elect its one representative in that Council on 29 April 2007.
