New comPlan Foundation Council

Elections to the Foundation Council

The Foundation Council is the highest governing body of comPlan an bears overall responsibility for the management of your pension fund. The term of office for employee representatives ends on 31 December 2026- now is your chance to play an active role in shaping the new term of office as an employee representative on the Foundation Council! 

Who can take part?

All active members (eligible voters) who are insured with comPlan on 31 May 2026 and do not leave the scheme before the start of the election period. 

Employers and employees determine their representation on the Foundation Council in different ways:

• the employees elect their Foundation Councils

• the employer representatives are appointed by the Board of Directors of the Swisscom Group.

Nominations for the elections of employee representatives to the Foundation Board my be submitted during the nomination period (8 June to 7 July 2026) They must be signed by at least 100 active insured persons (eligible voters).  

For the submission to be valid, the requirements regarding the type of signature and the relevant form must be strictly adhered to.

1. Principle: The first signature counts - no hybrid form

At the start of the process, the candidate is entered on the list of nominations either through self-nomination or through nomination by a third party. In both cases, the candidate must personally confirm on the nomination list - either digitally or physically - that they will accept election as a member of the comPlan Foundation Board, provide they receive the necessary votes in the ballot taking place from 14 to 27 September 2026.  

This initial personal confirmation by the candidate determines the binding method for collecting all further signatures:  

• Digitale signature→ all signatures must be collected digitally using a qualified electronic signature (QES). 

• Physical signature → all signatures must be collected physically. 

A mixture of the two types of signature within the same list is not permitted. This rule applies both to signatures from the candidate and to all active insured persons (eligible voters) who support a list.

2. Choosing the correct form

Depending on the type of the first signature, the corresponding form must be used: 

• Digital signature form – for a digital start to the process

• Physical signature form – for physical initiation

The forms contain detailed instructions on the correct procedure.

3. Collecting the 100 signatures (starting on 8 June 2026)

Each list of candidates requires at least 100 valid signatures from active policyholders (eligible voters). Only eligible voters may sign a nomination. Only persons who are actively insured with comPlan and whose cover has not been terminated are eligible to vote. As invalid signatures are not counted, it is recommended that you collect more than the required 100 signatures.

Important: 

• All signatures must be obtained in the chosen format (digital or physical).

• It is permitted to initiate two separate processes (digital and physical) – but only if the candidate signs both lists separately and the signatures are collected strictly separately.

4. Multiple nomination lists in parallel

Active insured persons (those eligible to vote) may sign more than one nomination list provided that the following conditions are met:

• The name of the electoral list is the same  

• the names, the order and the number of candidates are the same 

• a total of at least 100 active insured persons (eligible voters) have signed   

• each person eligible to vote may only sign one list of candidates   

If these conditions are not met, the lists shall be regarded as separate nominations.

5. Submission of nomination lists

The list must be submitted by midnight on 7 July 2026 at the latest. The acceptable method of submission also depends on the type of signature:  

For digital signautres 

• Submission by email only to: [email protected]  

• Not by post, as printed digital signatures lose their validity.
