Is ch.ch down right now?
People land here mid-errand, so a blank topic page quickly fills the ch.ch status checks and the first ch.ch down reports. Reports often name the handover links, the voting pages or the language switch. A portal that opens while one canton link fails is a split fault.
Open a second topic before you judge the whole portal. Topic pages hang off one system, while canton links belong to other owners.
Is ch.ch down for me or everyone?
Load the front page, open a topic, then follow one handover link. When every step hangs while the rest of the web answers, the portal itself is down. That is a ch.ch outage in full, not a canton problem. A single dead canton link is that canton site, not this portal.
How does ch.ch group topics for citizens?
Topics group by life events like moving, family, work, money and travel. Each topic page lays out the steps, the deadlines and the office in charge. Links inside the steps hand you to the exact canton or commune page.
The pages use plain language and skip legal wording where they can. A glossary on the side explains the terms that remain. Print views strip the pages down for paper where you need a copy.
Where does ch.ch hand you over to a canton site?
The handover link opens the canton or commune service that owns your case. From there, that office rules apply and its forms take over. The portal marks outside links, so the jump never comes as a surprise.
Does ch.ch explain voting step by step?
Yes, the voting pages walk through registration, the envelope and the count in plain steps. They also list the upcoming vote dates and the topics on the ballot. Links lead to the canton pages that run your vote.
Where do you switch the language on ch.ch?
The language switch sits at the top of the page frame. The portal runs in German, French, Italian, Romansh and English. Switching mid-topic keeps you on the same page where a copy exists. The switch keeps its place on small screens inside the menu.
Common ch.ch Problems and Fixes
ch.ch trouble gathers at topic pages, handover links and the language switch. The fixes below start with those spots.
A topic page is not found
Reach the topic through the life-event groups on the front page. Topic paths shift as the portal reorganises, and old bookmarks die first. The search box finds the topic by its everyday name too.
A handover link to a canton is broken
Note the canton and the service name, then open that canton site from its own front page. The portal link and the office move at apart times. Your case data lives with the canton, not the portal.
The language switch loses your page
Switch the language from the topic page itself rather than the front page. Most topics hold copies in all five languages. Where a copy is missing, the switch lands on the topic overview instead.
Search finds the wrong topic
Use the everyday words for your errand, like moving or car, instead of office terms. The portal indexes plain language first. The life-event groups give a second path when search wanders.
The voting info page stays blank
Open the voting pages through the democracy topic group. Ballot pages rebuild around each vote date, and stale links blank out. The topic group always carries the current pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does a ch.ch link to my canton fail?
Canton sites move on their own schedule, apart from the portal. Open the canton site from its front page and find the service there. Your case belongs to that office either way.
How does ch.ch differ from admin.ch?
ch.ch explains daily life topics in plain steps for citizens. admin.ch is the federal portal that links the offices themselves. Both point onward, but ch.ch teaches while admin.ch routes.
Can I use ch.ch in English?
Yes, the portal publishes in English beside the four national languages. The switch sits at the top of the frame. Topic copies exist in all five languages in most cases.
What topics does ch.ch cover?
Life events like moving, family, work, taxes, cars and voting fill the groups. Each topic lists steps, deadlines and the office in charge. Links hand you to the canton or commune page.
Does ch.ch handle my case itself?
No, the portal explains and hands over. The canton or commune office named on the topic page runs your case. Its forms and rules apply from the handover on.
Where do I find vote dates on ch.ch?
The voting pages list the upcoming dates and ballot topics. They link onward to the canton pages that run your vote. Registration steps sit on the same pages.
