Fyrstadskretsen (Riksdag constituency)
Swedish electoral district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fyrstadskretsen (lit. 'Four City Constituency'), officially known as Malmö, Hälsingborg, Landskrona and Lund until 1970, was a multi-member constituency of the Riksdag, the national legislature of Sweden. The constituency was established in 1970 when the Riksdag changed from a bicameral legislature to a unicameral legislature. It consisted of the non-contiguous municipalities of Helsingborg, Landskrona, Lund and Malmö in the county of Malmöhus. It was abolished in 1994 following the reorganisation of the constituencies in Malmöhus County. Helsingborg and Landskrona were transferred to the newly created Malmöhus County North constituency, Lund was transferred to Malmöhus County South and Malmö became a constituency in its own right.

Electoral system
Fyrstadskretsen elected members of the Riksdag using the open party-list proportional representation electoral system.[1][2] Constituency seats were allocated using the modified Sainte-Laguë method.[3][4] Only parties that reached the 4% national threshold and parties that received at least 12% of the vote in the constituency competed for constituency seats.[5][6] Supplementary levelling seats may also have been allocated at the constituency level to parties that reached the 4% national threshold.[7]
Voters could cast any ballot paper they wanted though it had to contain the name of a party and the name of at least one candidate nominated by that party in the constituency.[8] It was common for parties to hand out ballot papers with their name and list of candidates at the entrance of polling stations.[8] Voters could delete the names of candidates or write-in the names of other candidates but in practice these options weren't used enough by voters to have any significant impact on the results and consequently elections operated as a closed system.[9]
Seats won by each party/list in a constituency were allocated to its candidates in order of preference votes (a personal mandate), provided that the candidate had received at least 8% of votes cast for their party in the constituency.[10][11] Any unfilled seats were then allocated to the party's remaining candidates in the order they appeared on the party list (a party mandate).[10][12]
