A non-binding referendum on reforming the pensions system was held in Sweden on 13 October 1957.[1] Three proposals were put to voters:
Proposal 1 was put forward by the Social Democratic Party, which was also backed by the Communist Party (now the Left Party) and the Trade Union Confederation. Proposal 2 was put forward by the Farmer's League (now the Centre Party) and proposal 3 was put forward by the Rightist Party (now the Moderate Party) and the People's Party (now the Liberals).
The first option won a plurality of the vote, receiving 46% of the ballots cast.[2] Option 2 was the least popular, receiving only 15% of the vote.[2]
