Counties not in accordance with provinces include the three Småland counties of Jönköping, Kalmar and Kronoberg. From an enlarged perspective, the three provinces of Västergötland, Bohuslän and Dalsland form Västra Götaland, Örebro County is divided between three separate provinces centered around Närke. As a result, Västmanland County is smaller than the province. Stockholm County is also consisting part of the provinces of Södermanland and Uppland, the latter of which forms Uppsala County in its north. Farther north, Gävleborg is a merger between Gästrikland and Hälsingland, Västernorrland consists of Medelpad and Ångermanland, whereas Lapland is divided between Västerbotten and Norrbotten counties. Härjedalen is a single municipality roughly corresponding with the provincial borders, merged into Jämtland County.Blekinge">Blekinge County">Blekinge

Results by bloc
Since the Red-Greens and the Alliance were in existence during the election campaign, the bloc results are presented beneath, although both blocs split in 2019. As a result of the lengthy stalemate in the 2018 Swedish government formation, the Red-Greens and the Alliance blocs both split as two members of each bloc formed the January agreement between the Social Democrats and the Green Party in government and the Centre Party and the Liberals as confidence and supply parties. The latter two, along with the Left Party all chose to abstain in the vote on whether to nominate Stefan Löfven as Prime Minister. Due to the negative parliamentarism being in effect and fewer than 175 voting against, Löfven was able to remain in his position, even though he got fewer "yes" votes than there were "no" votes. The Moderates and Christian Democrats had nominated Ulf Kristersson as Prime Minister, with the Sweden Democrats also voting for him and all three parties voting against Löfven. The following municipal charts are detailing how the eventual PM preference vote share was split in municipalities and are not the same as the aforementioned bloc results.Blocs by constituency
