1905 Swedish general election

none

Summary

none

General elections were held in Sweden in September 1905.

The General Electoral League received the most votes but won one less seat than the Free-minded National Association. This incongruency helped lay the base for a switch to proportional representation in 1907.

Results

Only 31% of the male population aged over 21 was eligible to vote. Voter turnout was 50.4%, the first time it had ever been higher than 50%.
