On 14 June 2017 Burkhalter published a letter in which he announced that he will be resigning as Federal Councillor on 31 October 2017. He was succeeded by Ignazio Cassis.

He is also the highest-ranking official in the Swiss order of precedence, and has the power to act on behalf of the whole Council in emergency situations. However, in most cases, the President is merely primus inter pares, with no powers over and above his six colleagues.

He served as Chairman-in-Office of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in 2014. He left the Federal Council on 31 October 2017.
On 11 November 2007, Burkhalter was elected to the Council of States, along with Social Democratic Party (SP) candidate, Gisèle Ory, who was re-elected for a second term. During the election campaign, he was backed by the Liberal Party (PLS) and the SVP/UDC.
A native of the Canton of Neuchâtel, Burkhalter served in the Parliament of the Canton of Neuchâtel from 1990 to 2001. From 1991 to 2005, he was a member of Neuchâtel's city government (Conseil communal), and was the mayor of the city several times (1994/1995, 1998/1998, 2001/2002). From 2003 to 2007, he was a member of the Swiss National Council.
