This questions is difficult to answer because I don't know what your previous knowledge of the Swiss political system is and how detailed you expect the answer to be.
Check this links for a detailed explanation.

Here a simplified explanation:
On federal level there are two main options:
Option 1:
A new law is proposed by the federal council (that's the executive branch) or a parliament commission. The Swiss parliament consists of two chambers: The National council and the Council of States. The members of The National Council are elected in each canton in proportion of the population. In the Council of States each canton gets two seats. A new law needs to be approved by both chambers of the parliament.
Within 100 days after the approval of a new law, 50'000 voters can demand by signature that their is a public voting on the law. If this happens all Swiss voters are invited to decide finally on the law.
Option 2:
100'000 voters can propose by signature a change of the Constitution directly. In that case all Swiss voters decide directly about the proposal. The parliament and Federal council just give an advise. |
