🗳️ Sweden voted on Sunday to elect all 349 members of the Riksdag, the national parliament. More than 8 million people were eligible to cast ballots.
The election’s central political question was whether the centre-right could retain power and give the Sweden Democrats cabinet posts for the first time. The party has supported Ulf Kristersson’s government in parliament since 2022 but has not been part of the cabinet.
The result will shape who can form a government rather than directly electing a prime minister. Sweden’s proportional system normally requires parties to clear a 4% national threshold before sharing in parliamentary seats.
The Swedish Election Authority said preliminary figures were expected from about 21:00 local time on election night, with final Riksdag results expected after the subsequent count. đź“Š
Attention then turns to seat allocation and negotiations over a government, including whether the Sweden Democrats enter the cabinet if the right has sufficient parliamentary support.
