Municipalities in the canton of Uri

In general, municipalities (German: Politische Gemeinden) in Switzerland are grouped in districts (German: Bezirke), but Uri has no districts.

Mergers of municipalities

The 20 municipalities of the Canton of Uri were mentioned in the cantonal constitution and any merger had to be approved by a cantonal referendum that would change the constitution accordingly.[1] A referendum in 2013 approved with 57%, the removal of the names of the 20 municipalities from the constitution, thus allowing municipalities' mergers without the need of a cantonal referendum.[2] The mucicipalities of Seedorf and Bauen were the first that voluntarily decided to merge.[3] The merger is to take place on 1 January 2021, provided it would be approved by the population of both municipalities in a referendum that will be held in Autumn 2019.[4]
