Swedish electorate 1887-1968
The study covers parliamentary elections to the second chamber from 1887, the first modern election in Swedish history with clearly defined political groups within the electorate, to 1968, the last election with a bicameral system. The aim is to study the change in Swedish voter turnout during this time period, and to see how social structures affect political behavior. The data material contains both political and social data.
