Quick Summary

Arvid Lindman was a Swedish statesman who served as prime minister. He led a Conservative government that enacted significant political reforms in 1907, introducing a universal and equal franchise for the second chamber of the Riksdag (parliament) and proportional representation for elections to both chambers. These reforms were a compromise that addressed growing demands for broader suffrage, driven by Sweden's transformation into a modern industrial country following World War I. The elections in 1911 saw a victory for the Liberal Party, leading to the formation of a Liberal government.12
