About this election
How the vote works
Members of the European Parliament are elected in Sweden in a single nationwide constituency by open-list proportional representation using the modified Sainte-Laguë method, with a 4% threshold. Voters may cast a personal-preference vote for an individual candidate as well as choosing a party list. Because the whole country forms one constituency, the European election is the one Swedish national contest with no regional seat allocation. Swedish and other EU citizens resident in Sweden are both entitled to vote.
