International observers have questioned parts of the Swedish electoral system. In particular, that the ballots openly laid out on the table in connection to the röstmottagningsställena and that it can pose a risk for external impact.
It also has been pointed out that the voters think it is disagreeable to have to take their ballots when others are watching.
“the Place is not protected from view, which can be perceived as a problem”, although the government has stated, and asked an investigator look over the rules.
end of October is presented, according to The sources, a proposal that the electoral act should be changed before 2018.
“Today’s system involves such disadvantages for voters’ privacy, that the ballots in the future should be placed hidden behind the select screen, where the actual envelope is made in the order. Then, voters can take the ballot they want without transparency or effect, in direct connection with the actual valhandlingen performed,” it says in the draft that the Echo have taken part of.
This conclusion is that this would strengthen the protection for the would and the free elections, but it will take a greater valskärmar than in the day. Highlights Norway as a good example where screens are used with the three sides, and a curtain that could be pulled, which means that there is transparency from any direction.
the Echo has talked with some voters on the proposal. One of them is Andreas Palmqvist, and he does not think that there is a problem that others can see which party he intends to vote.
– It has actually never bothered me at all. I’m not so secret with my voice. I think most people I know know what I am voting on, ” he says.
other constituents, Ulla-Britt Lidmar Sundmark, says that there is a downside with the current arrangement.
“Perhaps there is no secrecy of voting, so to speak, if you see what the other takes,” she says.
But for its own part, she thinks not that it makes something that others can observe what the voters she’s going to put in the envelope.
“Actually, I don’t care so much about it, they may well see it then,” says Lidmar Sundmark.
