Politicians’
leaderboards.

Official personal votes from Valmyndigheten’s final regular elections in 2010, 2014, 2018 and 2022. The original 2010–2018 archives are preserved by the Internet Archive; 2022 comes directly from Valmyndigheten’s combined Excel files. Ballot lists are summed within the correct party, election and area. All reported personal votes are included, including accepted overseas votes in the Riksdag election.

Candidate numbers identify candidates within one election. Cross-election histories are derived from matching full names, compatible ages and a common municipality in the sources. Ambiguous matches stay separate. Name changes, moves and missing ages can therefore result in separate profiles. This is not an official identity register. A different party on a ballot shows a changed candidacy, not a verified membership-change date.

List position is the candidate’s printed position on the party’s ballot, not their rank by personal votes or seat allocation. All distinct ballot lists and positions reported for the candidate in the area’s final personal-vote data are shown. Other registered ballot lists may be absent. Missing information is never replaced by a guessed position. A changed list position alongside more personal votes is an observation, not a measure of the position’s causal effect.

Percentage change = (new votes − previous votes) / previous votes × 100. The share uses all valid votes for that party in the area; changes in shares are percentage points. The comparison is always the election four years earlier. Missing results are never treated as zero. A zero baseline has no percentage. Re-run elections and changed or unverified constituency boundaries are excluded from change rankings.

Municipal rankings cover the entire municipal-council election; regional rankings cover the whole region. Riksdag total-vote rankings sum each candidate’s personal votes per party across the selected constituencies; individual constituencies can be expanded. Shares and changes are compared per constituency and are never added together. Historical result files may omit candidacies without personal votes; a missing match does not mean the person was new to politics.

Support down the ballot requires at least 100 personal votes and position 4 or lower on every ballot reported by the personal-vote source in the area. It ranks personal votes divided by all valid party votes in that area. The selection is an editorial cutoff, not a statistical adjustment for ballot position, campaigning, fame or party size. Missing positions do not qualify. Registered ballots outside the personal-vote source may be absent.

Profile rankings use the selected election year, election type, area and party filter, with at least 1 prior vote where a change is required. Top 100 means ranks 51–100, Top 50 means rank 50, and ranks 1–49 are shown exactly. Equal values share a rank. In large percentages, k means thousand and M means million; calculations and sorting use the full value.
