Why It Matters

Förtidsröstningen inför det aktuella valet har visat en markant ökning jämfört med 2022 års val.

Font size

Under fredagen hade över tre miljoner väljare förtidsröstat – en ökning med 21 procent jämfört med samma tid inför valet 2022.

I Umeå har över 37 000 personer redan röstat och i Skellefteå över 21 000. Det motsvarar omkring 37 procent av de röstberättigade. I Storuman är andelen ännu högre. Där har drygt 1 800 personer röstat – över 40 procent av de röstberättigade.

Det höga trycket har lett till köer utanför vallokaler på flera håll i landet. I Umeå har väntetiden varit upp till en och en halv timme – något som överraskat valnämnden som utökat antal vallokaler.

– Vi behöver göra en gedigen utvärdering, säger Marie Sandström, enhetschef på valkansliet i Umeå.

Open Questions

  • ?Hur kommer valnämnden att hantera köbildningen framöver?
