In Sweden it takes an extra effort to keep your vote secret, compared to many other countries, and now the European Commission is asking the Swedish government to comment on Swedish election praxis.
New Swedish voter Christian Dworeck is not impressed, and he has asked the EU Commission to make sure Sweden is keeping to the rules on everyone’s right to keep their vote secret.
“When I got into the polling station I simply couldn’t believe my eyes” says Christian Dworeck, who moved to Sweden from Germany. He went to vote in the EU election last year.
What he saw was a big table full of voting slips for each party. He could clearly see who people were voting for, by seeing which of the different party ballot papers they took.
