Swedish general election, 1994
- Swedish general election, 1994
The Swedish general election, 1994 for the 349 seats in the Swedish parliament, the Riksdag, took place in September 1994. The election saw the return to power of the Social Democrats led by Ingvar Carlsson who formed a minority government after the election. The Greens also returned to the Riksdag after a three year absence. The Moderates slightly improved on their 1991 performance, but the Center Party, the Liberals and the Christian Democrats all fared poorly, the latter barely holding on to their parliamentary representation. New Democracy, a populist political party which had entered the Riksdag three years earlier, performed poorly, losing most of its voters and all of its seats in the Riksdag. In total the party's vote share dropped from 6.7% in 1991 to 1.2% in 1994. The election introduced an extended electoral cycle of four years, replacing the previous three year terms. It was also notable for being the first electoral event in the world whose official results were published live on the nascent World Wide Web (other countries had previously used the then-fledging Internet to officially broadcast election results, but with simpler methods such as e-mail lists).
