Elections to the Swedish Riksdag held September 19, 1976. The result ended in an expected coalition government between the agrarian Centre Party, the Liberal People's Party and the conservative Moderate Party, thus forming Sweden's first non-socialist government since 1936. Centre Party leader Thorbjörn Fälldin, who had widely been expected to take over the government in the previous election of 1973 (which eventually turned out an 175-175 draw), was appointed Prime Minister, the first not from the Swedish Social Democratic Party since Axel Pehrsson-Bramstorp's brief interregnum 40 years earlier.
