Swedish Election Authority

Swedish Election Authority

The Swedish Election Authority, or "Valmyndigheten", is a Government agency charged with organizing national elections and referendums in Sweden. The agency began its operations on July 1, 2001 when it took over the responsibilities from the Swedish National Tax Board.

Local, and regional elections are the responsibility of the respective municipalities and county councils, however these elections always take place concurrently with the national elections for the Parliament of Sweden. As the central administrative authority for elections the Election Authority has an instrumental role in all public elections in Sweden.
