Parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in Sweden on September 13, 2026. This market will resolve according to the political party that wins the second-greatest number of seats in the Swedish Parliament (Riksdag) in this election. If voting in the Swedish parliamentary election does not occur by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The named parties or coalitions will be primarily ranked by the number of seats won in the specified election. If two or more parties are tied on seats, ties will be broken by the total number of valid votes received, with higher vote totals ranking higher. If parties remain tied, ties will be broken by alphabetical order of the listed party abbreviations. This market will resolve to the party that occupies the second finishing position after applying this ranking. This market will resolve based on the results of this election as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the Swedish government, specifically the Swedish Election Authority (Valmyndigheten) (https://www.val.se/).
Sweden’s September 13 parliamentary election polls show the Social Democrats leading while Sweden Democrats hold a consistent edge over the Moderates for second place, with SD support near 19–21% and Moderates around 17% in recent Novus and other surveys. This positioning reflects the Sweden Democrats’ sustained voter base on immigration, crime, and integration issues under the current Tidö cooperation framework, alongside limited recent movement in Moderate support despite the tightening bloc race and Social Democrat declines. Traders have priced in the high probability of an SD second-place finish based on this polling consistency and the absence of major shifts that would reverse the order before election day.
