26, divided in 20 "full" cantons and 6 "semis" (or 3 double-pairs).
One part of the parliament is composed of 2 members for each "full" canton, and 1 member for each "semi" - giving 46 seats. The other part of the parliament is simply composed according to the number of habitants.
In public voting (concerning the entire country) the cantons give their results according to the number of habitants - and a corresponding single "yes" or "no". These are counted full for the "full" ones, and half for the "semis". A public "yes" needs the majority of all participating Swiss citizens and a cantonal "yes" of at least 12 against 11 "no" votes.
