At least one location in each municipality is open for early voting right up to and including election day, June 9.
Sweden will elect 21 members, which is one more than at the last EU election, in 2019. Since then, Sweden has gained another seat, which is explained by Brexit and the fact that Sweden, with the withdrawal of Great Britain, had to take over a seat that then went to The Green Party’s Jakop Dalunde.
In this year’s EU elections, a total of 7,946,261 people are eligible to vote in Sweden, statistics from the Swedish Electoral Authority show. That is 369,000 more than in 2019.
The number of first-time voters, who turned 18 at the latest on election day, is 572,281 in this year’s EU elections. This is a sharp increase from the 2019 EU elections when there were 498,592 first-time voters.
The start of voting coincides with the party leaders’ EU election debate in the Riksdag.
