Editing Jämtland County (section)

== Politics ==
The county is dominated by the [[Swedish Social Democratic Party]] and the [[Centre Party (Sweden)|Centre Party]], which is unique in Sweden, but corresponds to the situation in the bordering Norwegian county of Nord-Trøndelag. The county is rather contrastive in the political field. While a majority of the municipalities are governed by [[liberalism|liberal]]-[[conservatism|conservative]] ({{langx|sv|borgerlig}}, lit. "[[bourgeois]]") majorities or by coalitions overstepping the bloc border, the [[County Councils of Sweden|county council]] is controlled by a [[Red-Greens (Sweden)|red-green]] majority and the Social Democrats receive two out of four [[Mandate (politics)|mandates]] to the [[Riksdag]].

After the Swedish county council election in 2022, the following [[List of political parties in Sweden|political parties]] are represented in the Jämtland county council ({{langx|sv|Region Jämtland Härjedalen}}):<ref>{{cite web | url=https://valresultat.svt.se/2022/regionval-23-region-jamtland-harjedalen.html | title=Valresultat 2022 för Region Jämtland Härjedalen i regionvalet }}</ref>
