A clip on X shows that the Christian Family Party's ballots are missing from a ballot rack, which party leader Aday Bethkinne calls obvious electoral influence. The clip has been seen by nearly 74,000 people. The electoral authority confirms that missing ballots are the most common type of incident report, but stresses that they can be due to practical reasons such as relocation, removal of voters, out of stock or late delivery by the parties, and not necessarily deliberate electoral fraud. A government investigation suggests that the election administration should manage all distribution in order to give the parties equal conditions. A report from the Total Defense Research Institute shows that over 15,000 posts about 'electoral fraud' linked to ballots occurred in 2022, where missing ballots were a common theme.

A DN/Ipsos survey shows voters' preferences for government formation. Social Democratic voters prefer C and MP over V, while the Tidö parties' voters show increased acceptance of SD ministers, despite divisions within the Liberals.
