Sweden held its general elections on 13 September 2026, with voters casting ballots for the Riksdag, regional councils and municipal councils.

The Swedish Election Authority confirmed the final Riksdag results on 19 September. Voter turnout was 84.9%, with 6.83 million people casting their votes. The Social Democrats received the largest share of the vote, securing 99 of the Riksdag’s 349 seats. The Moderates won 70 seats, followed by the Sweden Democrats with 62, the Left Party with 30 and the Centre Party with 25.

Following the election, Sweden entered a period of government formation. Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson requested his resignation, and the outgoing government continues to serve as a caretaker government until a new government takes office.

The newly elected Riksdag convenes on 28 September, marking the beginning of the parliamentary process to determine Sweden’s next government.
