Sweden held a general election on 16 September 1956.[1][2] This was the sole election between WWII and 1976 which rendered a centre-right majority in the chamber, although the bicameral system and the majority for the leftist parties in the upper chamber rendered a cross-coalition Social Democrat-Farmers' League government.
