  16. Use of smartvote • In the course of the 2011 elections of the Swiss national parliament Swiss voters had - after 2003 and 2007 - for the third time the possibility to seek voting advice on a VAA . • The providers estimate that about 437’000 voters took this exercise seriously. This amounts to about 8.5 per cent of the electorate and a bit more than 17.6 per cent of the citizens taking part in the elections. • The corresponding figures for the previous elections are 91‘815 or 4.2 per cent of the voters in 2003 and 350‘000 or 14.7 per cent of the voters in 2007
