Planned extraordinary parliamentary elections in Sweden, 22 March 2015
After the Government failed to pass the budget in Parliament, the Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, has announced that the Government plans to hold an extra election on March 22, 2015. Extra elections will be carried out in the same way as the general elections but with a shorter time-frame. Voting abroad can begin at the earliest on the 20th day before the scheduled election, which falls on March 2, 2015. More concrete and practical information regarding voting at the Consulate will follow when an official decision has been made on the election date by the Government.
