1905 Swedish general election

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%.
