The National Council of Switzerland (German: Nationalrat; French: Conseil National; Italian: Consiglio Nazionale; Romansh: Cussegl Naziunal) is the larger Chamber of the parliament, with 200 seats. Each canton is a constituency. The number of deputies of each constituency depends on the population of the canton. Zürich, which is the largest canton of Switzerland, has 34 seats. Uri, Glarus, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and Appenzell Innerrhoden, on the other hand, each have only one seat. [1] For cantons with more than one seat proportional representation is used. There are currently (2008) 59 women in the National Council (29.5%). The National Council is elected by the Swiss citizens, as is most of the Swiss Council of States. There were 4.6 million citizens old enough to vote in 2003.
