Election Campaigning Begins Across Sweden Ahead of September 13 Vote

Sweden has officially started its election campaign ahead of the vote on September 13. Voters in Stockholm can now meet political party representatives directly in public squares. Party volunteers are setting up temporary campaign cabins across towns and cities.

These small wooden huts are known locally as valstugor or election cabins. You can find them in nearby parks and town squares throughout Sweden. Billboards from various political parties are also visible in public places.

Volunteers staff these cabins to discuss local issues with residents. One party volunteer told Radio Sweden that meeting voters in person is great. The news was reported by Swedish public radio outlet Radio Sweden.
