Constituency results (blue = alliance)

The election for the Swedish Parliament in 2006 took place on September 17, 2006.

Before the election, the Social Democrats ruled as a minority government. They worked with the Greens and the Left Party . The Social Democrats have ruled since 1994 and, with a few exceptions, have led all of Sweden's governments since the 1930s.

The candidates for the office of Prime Minister were the Social Democrat and Prime Minister Göran Persson , who has been in office since 1996, and Fredrik Reinfeldt as the top candidate of the Civic Alliance for Sweden ( Conservatives , Christian Democrats , Zentrum and Folkpartiet liberalerna ).

For the election, the country was divided into 29 constituencies. 310 of the 349 seats were allocated for each constituency according to proportional representation and the remaining 39 seats are allocated according to the national result. In order to be able to enter the Reichstag in Stockholm, a party had to get at least four percent of the vote at the national level or twelve percent in one of the electoral districts.
