'''Vingåker Municipality''' ({{langx|sv|Vingåkers kommun}}) is a [[municipalities of Sweden|municipality]] in [[Södermanland County]] in central [[Sweden]]. Its seat is located in the town of [[Vingåker]].

The municipality has its present size since the local government reform of 1971.

==Geography==
Vingåker is an inland municipality but in spite of this has mostly low elevation. The lowest point is the shoreline of [[Hjälmaren]] at {{convert|22|m|ft}}<ref>{{cite web|url=https://minkarta.lantmateriet.se/|title=Min Karta - 59°8'3.6"N 15°49'59.2"E|publisher=[[Lantmäteriet]]|language=sv|accessdate=8 September 2022}}</ref> and the highest peak is at {{convert|116|m|ft}} near the [[Östergötland County|Östergötland]] county line.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://minkarta.lantmateriet.se/|title=Min Karta - 58°59'19.5"N 15°39'36.4"E|publisher=[[Lantmäteriet]]|language=sv|accessdate=8 September 2022}}</ref>

*[[Baggetorp]] (500)
*[[Högsjö]] (760)
*[[Läppe]] (600)

==Coat of arms==
The creation of the arms has a peculiar and somewhat romantic story attached to it. It was the first arms created by a parish in the [[Södermanland]] province in 1941.  It was inspired by a [[Hops|hop]] plant that some locals had seen on a farm.  The left part of the arms, an oak tree, is the insignia for the historical [[Oppunda Hundred]], stretching through the municipality.

==Sights==
The renowned Säfstaholm Castle (''slott'') was bought by the municipality in 1968. It is used for exhibitions and other cultural events.

==Demographics==
This is a demographic table based on Vingåker Municipality's electoral districts in the [[2022 Swedish general election]] sourced from [[Swedish Television|SVT]]'s election platform, in turn taken from [[Statistiska Centralbyrån|SCB]] official statistics.<ref name=VingåkerVal2022>{{cite web|url=https://valresultat.svt.se/2022/riksdagsval-0428-vingaker.html|title=Valresultat 2022 för Vingåker i riksdagsvalet|publisher=[[Swedish Television|SVT]]|language=sv|date=11 September 2022|access-date=5 January 2024}}</ref>

==Elections==

The following results are since the 1972 municipal reform onwards. The results of the [[Sweden Democrats]] were not published by the [[Statistiska Centralbyrån|SCB]] between 1988 and 1998 due to the party's small national size, and therefore has been marked out as "0.0".

'''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.
