Results of the 1956 Swedish general election

Sweden held a general election on 16 September 1956. This was the sole election between WWII and 1976 which rendered a centre-right majority in the chamber, although the bicameral system and the majority for the leftist parties in the upper chamber rendered a cross-coalition Social Democrat-Farmers' League government.

Results by municipality
1956 had the postal votes were counted separately from the polling station votes in one unified count across municipalities. The exception to these results are those where the whole constituency was one municipality - namely Gothenburg, Gotland and Stockholm where all postal votes were automatically denoted as part of said municipalities.

Only parties or constellations that got votes in any given constituency are listed.
