General elections were held in Sweden on 18 September 1994.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p1858 978-3-8329-5609-7 The Swedish Social Democratic Party remained the largest party in the Riksdag, winning 161 of the 349 seats.Nohlen & Stöver, p1873 Led by Ingvar Carlsson, the party returned to power and formed a minority government after the election. This was the final time the Social Democrats recorded above 40% of the vote before the party's vote share steeply declined four years later and never recovered. The Greens also returned to the Riksdag in the 1994 elections, after a three-year absence. The election saw the largest bloc differences for a generation, with the red-green parties making sizeable inroads into the blue heartlands of inner Småland and Western Götaland, at an even higher rate than 1988. The Social Democrats gathered more than 50% of the vote in all five northern counties, Blekinge, Södermanland, Västmanland and Örebro. In spite of the loss of power, the Moderates retained their 80 seats and gained 0.5% from 1991. Due to the sizeable losses of their coalition, the net difference between the blocs was 53, with the red-greens making up 201 and the blue parties 148. The Christian Democrats fared poorly, merely beating the threshold by 3,752 votes.http://share.scb.se/ov9993/data/historisk%20statistik/SOS%201911-%2FValstatistiken%2FAllm%C3%A4nna%20valen%20(SOS)%201970-1998%2FValstatistik-Allmanna-valen-1994-Del-1-Riksdagsvalet.pdf Allmänna valen 1994. Del 1, Riksdagsvalet den 18 september 1994 sv Statistical Central Bureau 18 November 2019 New Democracy, a right-wing 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. The proportion of women elected to the Riksdag increased from 34% in 1991 to 40%,http://archive.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/2303_91.htm Elections held in 1991 Inter-Parliamentary Unionhttp://archive.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/2303_94.htm Elections held in 1994 Inter-Parliamentary Union following a campaign by the Stödstrumporna sv (The Support stockings) before the elections.Törnqvist, Maria (2019). ”Varannan damernas eller hela makten?
