'''Kalix Municipality''' ({{Langx|sv|Kalix kommun}}, {{Langx|fi|Kainuun kunta}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Norrbotten County]] in northern [[Sweden]]. Its [[administrative centre|seat]] is located in [[Kalix]].

In 1924 Töre Municipality was detached from Nederkalix Municipality, forming a municipality of its own. In 1967 the two units were reunified, and the present municipality was created.

==History==
In historical times, Kalix was the name of the court district (Swedish: ''domsaga'') Kalix Lower Court District. It covered two [[parish]]es: Nederkalix and Överkalix (literally ''Lower Kalix'' and ''Upper Kalix'', respectively). The [[chalice (cup)|chalice]] on the [[coat of arms]] was present in the Nederkalix coat of arms in 1800, and was incorporated into that of Kalix Municipality in 1989. The choice of symbol originates from the similarity between the Latin root of chalice, ''calix'', mug (itself borrowed from Greek kalyx, κάλυξ, shell, husk) and the local [[Northern Sami|Sami]] pronunciation of ''Gáláseatnu'', an ancient name for the [[Kalix River]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.kalix.se/templates/Page____802.aspx |title=Kalix historia - www.kalix.se |access-date=2010-04-26 |url-status = dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100814133249/http://www.kalix.se/templates/Page____802.aspx |archive-date=2010-08-14 }}</ref>

==Elections==

===[[Swedish Riksdag|Riksdag]]===
These are the results of the elections to the Riksdag since the 1972 municipal reform. [[Norrbotten Party]] also contested the [[1994 Swedish general election|1994]] election but due to the party's small size at a nationwide level, [[Statistiska Centralbyrån|SCB]] did not publish the party's results at a municipal level. The same applies to the [[Sweden Democrats]] between 1988 and 1998. "Turnout" denotes the percentage of eligible voters casting any ballots, whereas "Votes" denotes the number of actual valid ballots cast.

'''Blocs'''

This lists the relative strength of the socialist and centre-right blocs since 1973, but parties not elected to the Riksdag are inserted as "other", including the Sweden Democrats results from 1988 to 2006, but also the Christian Democrats pre-1991 and the Greens in 1982, 1985 and 1991. The sources are identical to the table above. The coalition or government mandate marked in bold formed the government after the election. New Democracy got elected in 1991 but are still listed as "other" due to the short lifespan of the party.
