I have been in the US for almost 7 years now and have been able to
participate in all elections or referendum in Switzerland. I have always
received the necessary material in time, whether I lived in Chicago or in
southern California. Unfortunately this is not true for my wife. She
sometimes receives the material on time, sometimes not, and we never
receive the material on the same date. Since she is a registered voter in
Geneva and I am registered in Bern I assume the problems lies in
Switzerland by the bureau sending the material out rather than the US
postal service. We have not figured out yet why my wife is registered in
Geneva and I am registered in Bern. This remains a mystery to us, it might
have something to do with your county of origin (Heimatkanton), but I am
not sure. Anyway, each canton in Switzerland is responsible for sending
the material to its registered voters abroad and it looks like not all
offices of voter registration are equally efficient in sending out the
material on time, which ultimately accounts for problems in receiving the
material on time.
Good luck
