[1][2] The Riksdag is made up of 349 seats elected by open list proportional representation,[3] with an electoral threshold of 4% of the national vote or alternatively 12% within a single constituency.

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.

The table below lists political parties represented in the Riksdag after the 2022 general election.
