- bIn none of the electionsI inget av valen
- cIn the Riksdag election, the regional election and the municipal electionI riksdagsvalet, regionvalet och kommunvalet
- dOnly in the Riksdag electionBara i riksdagsvalet
Why?
A person who is not a citizen of an EU country, Iceland or Norway may vote in regional and municipal elections after several years of being registered as living in Sweden (folkbokförd); today three years in a row are required. To vote in the Riksdag election you must be a Swedish citizen.
