2026 Participatory Budget – Chalais Council

For the third year running, Chalais Council is inviting proposals for projects.

The Participatory Budget is an initiative that encourages the development of local projects and gives residents the opportunity to decide how the municipality’s financial resources are allocated, using an annual budget of CHF 40'000.

This amount is made up of equal contributions from the Donation Fund and the municipality’s regular budget. Projects must be proposed by groups of at least three people living in the municipality of Chalais. The allocation of funds to projects is not determined by political decision or strategic choice.

It is the adult residents who are called upon to vote for their favourite projects. The winning project(s) are then carried out by the successful applicants.
