Borlänge municipality sees no signs of systematic election fraud

The electoral office in Borlänge municipality has reviewed incident and daily reports and talked to vote recipients and election officials. In the return report, it is stated that there is no evidence that systematic electoral fraud took place in the municipality's polling stations.

- We cannot see that there is any incident that stands out in such a way that it can be classified as serious enough to have influenced the election, says Fredrik Holm, deputy municipal manager in Borlänge.

The municipality will therefore not proceed with any incident.

- For us, the election is over, says Fredrik Holm, but adds that the municipality will continue to cooperate with other authorities if desired.

Since a couple of weeks ago, prosecutors Oskar Edvardsson and Johan Lindmark at the National Anti-Corruption Unit have been leading a preliminary investigation into suspected election fraud in Borlänge municipality. The investigation is linked to the leftist Mohamed Abdukardir Ali's election campaign in Borlänge. Doldisen Abdukardir Ali was in ninth place on the party's list, but cruised his way to a seat in the Riksdag.

- The preliminary investigation is still ongoing, says Johan Lindmark.

Fredrik Holm emphasizes that the municipality's investigation in Borlänge only concerns the reception of votes in the premises. They have therefore not reviewed any incidents out on the streets.

- We have not looked at society at large, he says.
