General elections will be held inSweden on 13 September 2026 to elect the 349 members of theRiksdag. They in turn will elect theprime minister. In case of asnap election, the parliamentary term would not be reset and general elections would still be held in September 2026 together withregional andmunicipal elections.^[1][2]

TheRiksdag is made up of 349 seats elected byopen listproportional representation,^[3] with an electoral threshold of 4% of the national vote or alternatively 12% within a single constituency. Of the 349 seats, 310 are elected from 29 constituencies ranging in size from 2 to 40 seats, while the other 39 seats are apportioned nationally aslevelling seats to ensure parties that passed the 4% national threshold hold a proportional number of seats; these levelling seats are allocated to particular districts. If a party wins more constituency seats than it is entitled to overall, a redistribution of constituency seats may occur to reduce the number of constituency seats won by that party.^[4]

General elections are held on a fixed date, the second Sunday of September, at the same time as the municipal and regional elections.^[5][6][7] If early elections are called, the newly elected legislature only serves out the remainder of the four-year term begun by the previous legislature.
