Volt Sweden (Swedish: Volt Sverige; abbreviation: Volt) is a political party in Sweden and part of the pan-European party Volt Europa. History 
Volt Sverige was founded on 2 July 2018 and stood in the 2019 European elections. In early November 2021, the Liberalerna (The Liberals) association in Ljusnarsberg announced that they would initially convert to an association and run for Volt in the local elections because they disagreed with their party's rapprochement with the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats. The local elected representative joined Volt, giving the party its first and only mandate there to date. Elections
