Election to the Parliament of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges riksdag) was held on 15 September 1991. The election, like all parliamentary elections in Sweden, was conducted using a party-list proportional representation system.
The election was notable due to the rise of a new right-wing party named New Democracy (Sweden) which succeeded in securing a parliamentary mandate for the first (and last) time. The four parties of the centre-right coalition (the Centre Party, People's Party, Moderate Party, and Christian Democrats) were allocated a combined total of 171 seats, 17 more than the two left-wing parties' 154, but still less than the 175 necessary for a majority. Thus the centre-right bloc was dependent upon New Democracy to secure a parliamentary majority.
This election is famous for the performance of the Donald Duck Party, which collected 1,535 votes, enough to make it the 9th largest in Sweden. The protest party's platform consisted of the demand for "free liquor and wider sidewalks."
