Electoral system[edit]

Apportionment[edit]

See also: Apportionment in the European Parliament

Compared to last election, Sweden is entitled to one more MEP that has already been assigned in 2020 in the occasion of the redistribution post Brexit.[2]

Electoral law[edit]

The 21 members are elected through semi-open list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency with seats allocated through modified Sainte-Laguë system and a 4% electoral threshold.

Both Swedish and EU citizens residing in the country are entitled to vote in the European elections in Sweden. No registration is needed for Swedish citizens, while other EU citizens residing in Sweden are required to register in the county of their residence at least 30 days prior to election day. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.[3]
