The Federal Chancellery organises the Federal Council meetings along with the respective presidential department. These meetings take place almost every week.
The Federal Chancellery keeps abreast of international trends and develops scenarios for the future. This helps the Federal Council to make policy decisions.
Via media conferences and social media, the Federal Chancellery ensures that the public is informed about the decisions reached by the Federal Council.
Along with the cantons, the Federal Chancellery organises federal elections and popular votes. Referendum and initiative committees submit the signatures they collect to the Federal Chancellery.
The Federal Chancellery ensures that laws and official texts are understandable and correct in German, French, and Italian; some laws are also published in Romansh and English.
