In April 1998, Allemann was elected to the Grand Council of Bern and was the youngest female member ever elected in a Swiss Cantonal Council.[6] As a member of the Justice Committee, she mainly focused on schooling and youth policy.

In 2003, she was elected to the National Council with 56,118 votes after she led a campaign alongside her Young Socialists running mates Mirjam Minder, Patric Bhend and Nasha Gagnebin.[7] At the age of 25, she became the youngest member of the 47th Swiss Parliament.[8] She first sat in the Legal Affairs Committees, then in the Transports and Telecommunications Committees and then in the Security Policy Committees.

Even though her party lost votes at the 2007 federal election, Allemann was re-elected with 85,332 votes.[9] She continued seating in the Transports and Telecommunications Committees and the Security Policy Committee.

Allemann lives in Bern and works as a lawyer.

She was elected as the chairwoman of the VCS Verkehrs-Club der Schweiz on 20 April 2013.[10]
