Mandatfördelning i Sverige

Sammanfattning

This essay will cover the Swedish electoral system with a focus on the proportional representation and

the process involved from the conversion of votes to seats in the parliament. This process consists of

several methods which are created by political decisions as well as mathematical formulas and is not

always perfect in terms of equalization. An increment of six adjustment seats would have made the

general election of 2010 more proportioned. Despite this, the Swedish electoral system is well

constructed and the essay will highlight areas which could be subject for improvement as well as

explaining fundamental concepts of the process.
