In early November 2021, the Liberalerna (The Liberals) association in Ljusnarsberg announced that they would initially convert to an association and run for Volt in the local elections because they disagreed with their party's rapprochement with the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats.

[2] The local elected representative joined Volt, giving the party its first and only mandate there to date.

[6] The party participated in the 2022 Swedish Parliamentary election[7] and received 89 votes.

[9][10] Volt received 1.2% in Ljusnarsberg, falling short of re-entry into the municipal council.

The candidates are Michael Holz, Carri Ginter Wikström, Alexander Löf and Ted Lindström.
