Early general elections were held in
Sweden on 1 June 1958,[1] after the defeat of the
Social Democratic government's proposals for a new pensions system in a parliamentary vote. The Social Democrats remained the largest party, winning 111 of the 231 seats in the
Andra kammaren of the
Riksdag,[2] and
Tage Erlander's third government was returned to power. In accordance with the law, the new Chamber was elected only to complete the previous Chamber's term, which was due to end in 1960.
