About the electoral system

The Riksdag is made up of 349 seats, and all are elected through open list proportional representation on multi-member party lists.

Sweden is different in the sense that it has elections on a fixed date with a parliamentary system in which prompt elections can be called. The newly-elected legislature would benefit the rest of the four-year term which was initiated by the previous legislature. Elections are organized on the second Sunday of September every four years, simultaneously as the municipal and regional elections. Each of the 29 constituencies has a set number of parliamentarians that is divided through constituency results to guarantee regional representation. The other MPs are then elected through a proportional balancing, to ensure that the numbers of elected MPs for the various parties accurately represent the votes of the electorate.
