Sweden votes as far-right party eyes historic government role

Sweden held a general election on Sunday that could bring a far-right party into government for the first time, or move the country back toward its long-standing liberal tradition. The vote marks a pivotal moment for Swedish politics. The far-right Sweden Democrats have never been part of a governing coalition. A strong result could change that. At the same time, other parties are pushing to return Sweden to the liberal policies it has been known for. Early voting stations opened ahead of Sunday's election, with officials casting ballots in Stockholm.
