    Democracy turns 101 years old

    At the end of the First World War, the Riksdag decided on universal and equal voting rights for women and men (May 24, 1919). The reform was carried out following proposals from a coalition government consisting of liberals and social democrats.

    After the 1921 election, five women took a seat in the Riksdag, and not until after this election did the Riksdag fully become a democratic representation of the entire people.
