The federated republic of Switzerland is composed of 23 cantons, or 20 cantons and six half-cantons. The last canton to be established was Jura in 1979. The Swiss government is divided into three branches: the Federal Council (executive); the Federal Assembly, or Parliament (legislative); and the Federal Tribunal (judicial), which sits in Lausanne. The Federal Council consists of seven members, who are each elected for four-years terms. They preside over seven government departments; it includes an annually elected president, who serves both as head of government and as Switzerland's chief of state. The Parliament is composed of two chambers. The two chambers are the Council of States and the National Council. The Council of States has 44 member who serve for three to four years, and the National Council has 200 members who are elected every four years. The Swiss government is composed of four main political partiesthe Social Democratic, the Radical Democratic, Christian Democratic, and the Swiss People's parties which hold about 80% of the seats in both houses of the Parliament. Switzerland is known to have the oldest continuous democracy in Europe. Federal legislature finally granted the Swiss women the right to vote in 1971. This was then followed by the equl rights amendment to the constitution in 1981 and by the extension of equal marriage rights to women in 1985. On March 3, 1991 a national referendum was approved by a wide margin to lower the voting from 21 to 18 years of age.
