==Elections==
These are the results of the elections in the municipality since the first election after the municipal reform, being held in 1973. The exact results of [[Sweden Democrats]] were not listed at a municipal level by [[Statistiska Centralbyrån|SCB]] from 1988 to 1998 due to the party's small size at the time. "Turnout" denotes the percentage of eligible people casting any ballots, whereas "Votes" denotes the number of valid votes only.
