Voters can use any early-voting location in the country from 26 August through election day. Opening hours vary, so check the Election Authority's site finder before travelling.
A voting card is not required this year. Bring an ID card, driving licence or passport. If you do not have identification, another person aged 18 or over can confirm your identity if they show their own ID.
Anyone voting must turn 18 no later than election day. Swedish citizens who are or have been listed in Sweden's population register can vote in the Riksdag election. Citizens of the EU, Iceland and Norway who are registered as residents in Sweden may vote in municipal and regional elections. Other foreign citizens and stateless residents may vote locally after three consecutive years on the population register.
If you vote early and later change your mind, you can vote again at your assigned polling station on election day. Only the most recent vote counts. The Election Authority says at least one early-voting location in every municipality will be open that day.
