Umeå sist i landet med att rösta efter långa köer

Why It Matters

Font size

De allra flesta vallokaler stängde i normal tid runt om i landet. Redan tidigt under söndagen kom rapporter om timmeslånga köer på flera håll i Umeå.

Valkansliet i Umeå införde en förändring under eftermiddagen för att korta ner köerna, då man flyttade ut de gröna valbåsen.

Trots detta ringlade köerna långa på Ålidhem i Umeå till långt in på kvällen. Vid 23-tiden, tre timmar efter att vallokalerna skulle ha stängt, var det fortfarande personer som skulle lägga sin röst.

”Sannolikt är Umeå sist”

Uel Mulughta från Umeå var sist i kön. Mest troligt blev han sist i landet med att rösta i årets val.

– Det är inte så ofta man blir sist, säger han.

– Vi kan inte säga helt säkert, men mest sannolikt är Umeå absolut sist, säger Jenny Stad, pressansvarig hos Valmyndigheten.

– Jag har ingen uppgift om att någon annan skulle ha haft öppet så sent, säger hon.

Open Questions

  • Hur många personer påverkades av de långa köerna i Umeå?
  • Vad var den exakta orsaken till de långa köerna i vallokalerna?
  • Kommer Valmyndigheten att vidta åtgärder för att undvika liknande situationer i framtida val?
