County results

In this era, right after the dissolution of first past the post, many counties had multiple constituencies, hence the results are listed at county levels here, comparable with most latter constituencies. The sole exception is for Stockholm, where the county and the capital city had different counts in the official statistics.^[1]

All county names have had their spellings modernized from contemporary spelling in this article. There were 292 votes for others than the three main parties, a total of 0.048%.^[1]
