 * Keep Seeing as the 2022 election has recently concluded, this is now the next Swedish general election, and so is a valid container article for information that will slowly be published as we get closer to 2026. While there aren't a whole lot of sources yet (though I'm unfamiliar with Swedish-language source that may be more pertinent), there's probably already enough for a stub (regarding the current system, incumbents and possible reelection, current political parties, etc.), and I believe it's common practice to keep articles about next national elections on these grounds.

 * Keep There is a List of next general elections which lists several articles about 2026 elections, and I believe that shows that it is OK to create an article about the next scheduled election. It is clearly a notable topic. Sjö (talk) 17:08, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - the 2022 election is over so this one should remain. Notable topic.BabbaQ (talk) 17:34, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. It's not unusual for us to have articles about the next general election in a country, as Sjö has shown above. The parliamentary foundation for the current government could be steadier, but even in the case of a snap election there will be a general election on September 13 2026, so I don't think this is premature. /Julle (talk) 19:21, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep We already have opinion polls for the next election. Number   5  7  20:42, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I created this article. I mainly did it because we already had a 2026 opinion poll page, so it made sense to have a main article as well. Perhaps we should change the title to "Next Swedish general election" as the Swedish constitution allows for snap elections. / Spaastm (talk) 21:26, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Spaastm: I think it makes more sense the way you phrased it from the beginning, the current way. As far as I know, the last snap election in Sweden was in 1958 so it's not a regular occurance, and if we need a new article, let's create one when we need it. Either way, there should be an election in 2026; I think it makes a lot of sense to create an article now for the election we know will happen, planned to be the next one. /Julle (talk) 21:38, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
