That would depend on the application of your switch. If your switch is coupled with a capacitor, then the capacitor may hold a charge. If your switch has multiple live power sources, you might not be fully disconnecting it from live current. The basic theory of an electrical switch is to connect and/or disconnect an electrical circuit. The switch itself either conducts or insulates against the flow of electricity, and does not maintain it's own charge.
