Does a foreigner working in Switzerland get to vote in any election? It's my impression that all countries restrict voting to their own citizens.

I'm sure the Swiss do, but just an aside that plenty of EU countries allow members from other countries to vote in their elections. E.g. here in Ireland I think we only restrict constitutional referenda to Irish citizens.
It seems it does vary heavily by country [1]. My country (Romania) does not give any voting rights to foreigners (AFAIK), and I thought the US didn't either.
