The 2019 Svealandic general election was held in New Svealand on 19 April 2019 to elect all 200 members of the Landstinget; 100 via the First-past-the-post constituency system and 100 via the regional list. The elections were due to be held on 19 June 2019 but following the collapse of the Social Democratic-Alternative-Green Coalition government the Landstinget voted in favour of bringing the elections forward by two months.

The previous election in 2014 had resulted in a ruling coalition consisting of the Social Democrats, Alternative party and the Greens supported by the Fålanda Unity Party. However, the revelations uncovered in the Erikson emails published by Svealands-posten in October 2018 implicated a number of Alternative party cabinet ministers in scandals. This would later result in the Prime Minister and leader of the Social Democrats, Lars Mortensen, being ousted after an internal party ballot. Deputy Prime Minister Peter Bergström would become interim party leader and Prime Minister.

The elections resulted in a victory for the Conservative party led by Christoffer Elvestad. The Conservatives won 53 of the 200 seats, an increase of 22. The incumbent Social Democratic party lost 12 seats with their coalition partners in the Alternative Party loosing just under half their seats and winning only 12. The liberals, led by Freja Larsson, increased their number of seats to 30 and entered into coalition with the Conservatives supported by Nils Johansson’s Moderates.
