Sweden held a general election on 18 September 1994. As of the 2018 election, this was the final time in which the Social Democrats won more than 45 % of the overall vote, marking a steady decline thereafter. The Green Party replaced the New Democracy party in the Riksdag, with the seven elected parties being represented in parliament into the 2020s after the Christian Democrats narrowly beat the parliamentary 4 % threshold by a mere 3,752 votes.
