Elections
Riksdag
From the 1994 election onwards the municipality was in existence due to the split with Örebro Municipality. The exact results of Sweden Democrats were not listed at a municipal level by SCB from 1994 to 1998 due to the party's small size at the time. "Turnout" denotes the percentage of eligible people casting any ballots, whereas "Votes" denotes the number of valid votes only.
